Many works, including works on screen or on stage are considered to be
adaptations of the original works. Adaptations use the original as a
basis and an inspiration, but there are always notable changes in things
like setting, characterization, and story lines.
Answer:Our football team had two injured players; we lost the game.
Explanation:One of the most common uses of semicolon is to join two independent clauses without having to appeal to a conjunction (such as "and"). In this case, we have "Our football team had two injured players" and "We lost the game". Both of them are independent clauses, therefore the use of semicolon is correct in this sentence.
Do not confuse the words affect, effect, and impact, each of which can be used both as a verb and as a noun. Avoid incorrectly using impact as a verb in place of affect or as a noun in place of effect. Affect as a verb means "to influence." Impact as a verb means "to hit with a blow".
