Well, which one do you think looks to be correct?

anonymous · Answer

Grandmother is adept at several types of art; painting, sculpting, and engraving.?

anonymous · Answer

Nope, because a semi colon separates two sentences that can function on their own.

Close, you only use a semicolon when combining two complete sentences.
You'd use a colon because colons are used when listing things.

anonymous · Answer

so which would it be?

whitemonsterbunny17 · Answer

Well, it is listing things, so you'd use a colon.. ":" rather than a semicolon ";".
