Question

The following independent clause is the first half of a sentence. Without changing the first half, add a semicolon and another independent clause. Make sure it is independent.

The summer sun is fading

Answer 1

The summer sun is fading; the stars are appearing in the sky.

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent clauses are clauses that can stand alone and act as complete sentences. They contain all elements of a sentence: a subject, a predicate, and they express a complete thought.

If a sentence consists of two or more independent clauses, they need to be properly connected either by a comma and a conjunction or by a semicolon. Semicolons shouldn't be used to connect more than two clauses and the first word of the second clause is not capitalized.
