as linking marks

semicolon
question mark
comma followed by a conjunction
colon

Answer 1

The marks that may be used as linking marks are:

• Semicolon
• Comma followed by a conjunction
• Colon

A semicolon can link two independent clauses, a comma followed by a conjunction (like "and" or "but") can link two independent clauses, and a colon can introduce a list, explanation, or clarification that is related to the preceding clause.

The question mark is typically used to indicate a question and is not used as a linking mark.
