Question

Decide where a semicolon is needed in the following sentence.

Answer 1

Between the words "yellow" and "those" i think 

Answer 2

Answer:

Between the words "yellow" and "those"

Explanation:

Tabitha painted her bedroom blue and yellow; those are her favorite colors.

In this case, the function of the semicolon is to join two closely-related independent clauses together in one sentence.

This sentence can be also separated into two sentences:

1. Tabitha painted her bedroom blue and yellow.

2. Those are her favorite colors.

Sentences 1 and 2 are independent clauses. The independent clauses are underlined for effect in the given sentence below:

Tabitha painted her bedroom blue and yellow; those are her favorite colors.
