Answer 1

The obstacle course is tough; nonetheless, fifty people have signed up to do it on Saturday.

Answer 2

1) ; 2) ,

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have two independent clauses: "The obstacle course is tough" and "fifty people have signed up to do it on Saturday," connected by the conjunctive adverb nonetheless. Since nonetheless modifies the second clause, there should be a comma between them, and a semicolon should be placed after the first clause to fuse it with the second.
