Where does a semicolon go

Kiki brushed back her luxuriant black hair; then she tied it with a satin ribbon.

Explanation:

The semicolon is a punctuation device used to join two sentences that are inherently complete on their own and join them without the use of any propositions or conjunctions but simply putting up a punctuation mark.

explanation:

read the following excerpt from “greece” by oscar wilde.

“the sea was sapphire”

“through the air”

“was blowing fair”

“to the eastward lie”
