Answer:
Statement 1: There are three Stooges: Moe, the leader; Larry, the follower; and Curly, the fool.
Explanation:
In the given four sentences, the colon is used in all cases in listing the different items/ persons/ lists. This is right and valid.
Now, to put a semi-colon in a sentence, there is a further need for that particular punctuation mark. Semi-colons are used in between the items in the same sentence and if the items have a comma in between. This way, there will also be lesser use of the comma.
Thus, the sentence that needs a semi-colon in it is statement 1.
The final sentence will be written as-
There are three Stooges: Moe, the leader; Larry, the follower; and Curly, the fool.
