Answer:

Your answer would be 1.

Explanation:

The sentence that correctly uses a semicolon is sentence 1. A semicolon can be used to link in a single sentence two independent clauses that are closely related in thought. Moreover, when a semicolon is used to join or more parts in a sentence, these ideas are given equal rank. In 1, the first clause states that the speaker has found his room totally messe up and then the second clause is about the person who might have messed it up (her/his sister). As you can see, the two clauses are related in thought.

Ivan found an old map of the United States with a scale of 3.5 centimeters = 210 miles. If the two cities are actually 120 miles
Tanzania [10]

So if 210=3.5 then 120 should be equals x. 210÷120=1.75 and 3.5÷1.75=2. At least thats is what I think.

Peter. I suppose you miss your friends and all.

Anne. It isn't just . . . (She breaks off, staring up at him for a second.) Isn't it funny, you and I? Here we’ve been seeing each other every minute for almost a year and a half, and this is the first time we've ever really talked. It helps a lot to have someone to talk to, don't you think? It helps you to let off steam.(continued)

Peter (Going to the door). Well, any time you want to let off steam, you can come into my room.

Anne (Following him). I can get up an awful lot of steam. You'll have to be careful how you say that.

Peter. It’s all right with me.

Anne. Do you mean it?

Peter. I said it, didn’t I?

your welcome have a wonderful day

What is a common characteristic of Southern Gothic literature? Select all that apply.
Fynjy0 [20]

"Southern gothic literature" is a term used to encompass a particular strain of literature from the American South. It originated in the 19th century, evolving from American Gothic, which in turn, evolved from English Gothic literature. Its characteristics include irrational, horrific and transgressive thoughts, grotesque characters, dark humor. This genre is rooted in the South's tensions and aberrations related to slavery, racism and patriarchy.

Therefore, the characteristics that would apply are:

  • set only in the South, (although there are some examples that are considered within this genre but the setting is not  a recognizable southern one, such as some Poe's poems)
  • romanticized southern life and culture
  • disturbed and twisted characters
