Brief Explanations
- Green Card: Uses a semicolon correctly to connect two related independent clauses.
- Purple Card: Uses a semicolon correctly before the conjunctive adverb "however" to link two contrasting independent clauses.
- Orange Card: Uses a semicolon correctly before the conjunctive adverb "therefore" to connect two related independent clauses.
- Teal Card: Incorrectly places a semicolon after "information" when the phrase following "therefore" is not an independent clause (it lacks a subject to pair with "am affected"). A comma should follow "therefore" instead, or the sentence structure should be adjusted.
