The sentence that uses a semicolon correctly is:
The stadium is located next to the school; it does not take long to walk there.
In this sentence, the semicolon correctly links two independent clauses that are closely related in context.
The other sentences either misplace the semicolon or use it improperly.
The correct description of an independent clause is:
a part of a sentence that can stand alone.
An independent clause contains a subject and a verb and expresses a complete thought, allowing it to function as a standalone sentence.
The correct definition of a compound sentence is:
a sentence with two independent clauses and no dependent clauses.
A compound sentence is formed when two independent clauses are joined by a coordinating conjunction (like "and," "but," or "or") or a semicolon.
The correct answer is:
a comma.
A comma is used to set off an introductory phrase from the main part of the sentence.
