When connecting related but independent clauses of a sentence

Semicolons are correctly and effectively used when connecting related but independent clauses of a sentence.

The semicolon (;) is a punctuation mark that separates major sentence elements. A semicolon can be used between two closely related independent clauses, provided they are not already connected by a coordinating conjunction.

The semi colon is employed to connect similar ideas that are independently placed in sentences. If you join the ideas with a semi colon, you don't have to use conjunctions.

Read the excerpt from the Fed Up website. Which statement opposes a viewpoint expressed in the excerpt?
Ronch [10]

Answer:

                     Read the excerpt from the Fed Up website. Which statement opposes a viewpoint expressed in the excerpt?

               I'm a single mother with three children in the public school system, and I'm tired of all this testing mania. I realize that teachers and students need to be assessed, but enough is enough already. I am against extending the school day for standardized-test tutoring. I work long hours and don't get to spend enough time with my kids as it is. I don't want them coming home just in time for dinner only to disappear into their rooms and do homework until bedtime. But I'm also against pulling students out of supposedly "nonessential classes" like music and art just so they can spend even more time on the so-called essential classes. I happen to think that music and art are essential, and I know my children agree.
