Good job, Ali. But in this exercise, too, I would prefer you not to rely on using a semi-colon to join the independent clauses.Sofia, your second sentence does not include a dependent clause.Melissa, you third sentence uses a dependent clause (mistakenly joined with a semi-colon rather than a comma).
