commas

The first part requires washing, the second, cutting, and the third, cooking.

How about the punctuation of this line? Right?

The first part is a question on politics; and the second, a test.

The semi-colon should be replaced by a comma.

Definitely better! But would it wrong with the semi-colon?

The semi-colon here is an alternative to comma + and.
The first door is green, and the second is yellow.
The first door is green; the second is yellow.
