1. Exercise has become very popular today; as a result, millions of Americans run or jog.
To answer the question, we can see that the second clause "millions of Americans run or jog" is an additional information related to the popularity of exercise. Hence, we can use the coordinating conjunction "as a result" to connect the two clauses. A semicolon is also needed to separate the clauses.
2. Exercise is fun, and furthermore, exercise is a good way to stay healthy.
To answer the question, we can see that the second clause "exercise is a good way to stay healthy" is giving additional information about the fun aspect of exercise. Hence, we can use the coordinating conjunction "and furthermore" to connect the two clauses. A comma is used to separate the clauses.
3. Some people exercise too hard; consequently, they may become ill or injured.
To answer the question, we can see that the second clause "they may become ill or injured" is a consequence of the first clause "Some people exercise too hard." Hence, we can use the coordinating conjunction "consequently" to connect the two clauses. A semicolon is used to separate the clauses.
4. You should warm up before serious exercise; otherwise, you might injure yourself by exercising too hard.
To answer the question, we can see that the second clause "you might injure yourself by exercising too hard" is the result of not warming up before serious exercise. Hence, we can use the coordinating conjunction "otherwise" to connect the two clauses. A semicolon is used to separate the clauses.
