The option that is NOT a reason we use semi-colons is:
**To introduce information that expands on an idea that preceded it.**
This is more characteristic of a colon. Semi-colons are primarily used to connect closely related sentences, to separate items in a complex list, or to connect independent clauses with conjunctive adverbs.
