When do we use a semicolon with independent clauses? to link an independent clause and a phrase when the ideas in both clauses are closely related to link an independent clause with a dependent clause to separate simple items in a series

2. When the ideas in both clauses are closely related

Explanation:

One of the uses of semicolons is to link two independent clauses whose ideas are closely related and are not linked with a conjunction like "and". By putting semicolons in this situation, we also convey that those are ideas are equally important.

The other options are incorrect because the semicolon is not used to link independent clauses with phrases nor dependent clauses because neither of these units expresses a complete thought or idea. (Options 1 and 3). Option 4 is also wrong because in order to separate simple items in a series, a comma, and not a semicolon, is used.

motivation

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
