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 key criteria for using a semicolon: ensuring that both clauses can stand alone as separate sentences and that they are thematically related.
