The sentence that correctly uses the punctuation mark, semicolon (;) is, "The curtains were shredded and all over the room; my cat looked very guilty." This is an example of a compound sentence. A compound sentence consists of two independent clauses. If we use a semicolon to separate the two independent clauses, then we do not have to use any conjunctions to connect both.
