Answer 1

The two questions that would best help someone decide whether to use a semicolon to connect clauses in a sentence are:

1. Is each clause independent?
2. Are the clauses about closely related ideas?

These questions address the fundamental requirements for using a semicolon correctly. The first question ensures that the clauses can stand alone as separate sentences, while the second question relates to the purpose of using a semicolon, which is to connect related ideas.
