🆕 New Concept Discovered: Compound-Complex Sentence Structure
Connecting independent clauses with transition words.

Step 1: Identify the main subject and verb

Look at the capitalized word to find the start of the sentence: "Businesswomen can".

We need a verb phrase to follow the modal verb "can". The phrase "show their knees" fits grammatically:

• "Businesswomen can show their knees"

Step 2: Add the prepositional phrase and punctuation

Next, we look for where this action is acceptable. The phrase "in the United States;" contains a semicolon, which is used to connect two independent clauses:

• "Businesswomen can show their knees in the United States;"

Step 3: Connect the contrasting clause

The word "however," is a conjunctive adverb used after a semicolon to show contrast. It must be followed by a comma:

• "Businesswomen can show their knees in the United States; however,"

Step 4: Arrange the remaining elements

Now we construct the second clause with the remaining blocks: "they should", "not", "do this in", and "Russia or India".

• Subject and modal verb: "they should"
• Negative adverb: "not"
• Verb phrase: "do this in"
• Object of preposition: "Russia or India"

Combining these gives:

• "...they should not do this in Russia or India"

Answer:

Businesswomen can show their knees in the United States; however, they should not do this in Russia or India
