Lorraine: #1--good, but use "in" instead of "of the";#2--here, you have taken the original independent clause and made it into a dependent one, and then added an independent clause; #3--omit "nevertheless" as it makes the clause dependent; replace the semicolon with a comma and add "but", and you will have two independent clauses;-)
