PLEASE HELP Why is the use of the semicolons to separate items correct in the following sentence?
For the trip, we brought along the following: a camp stove, a beast that had seen better days; a four-person
tent, which actually only slept two comfortably; a cast iron skillet, which weighed more than the tent; and a
spray can of mosquito repellent, which smelled bad enough to repel other humans as well.

1. The semicolons are correct because there are more than three items in the list.

2. The semicolons are wrong because commas are used to separate items in a list.

3. The semicolons are correct because the list is long and follows a colon.

4. The semicolons are correct because the items have commas within them.
