Verified Answer :

Answer : My sister
and I love to cook; we spend hours cooking together.



Among the choices presented above, this sentence shows a
semi-colon being used properly in connecting two independent clauses. A
semi-colon is a punctuation mark that helps in connecting two independent
clauses that have closely related ideas. In the sentence above, the two
independent clauses are “ My sister and I love to cook” while the other one is “We
spend hours cooking together”. These clauses can both stand on their own and
have related ideas.
