I think the one that starts with "Raquel"

The correct answer is C. Raquel was tired; so she decided to go home.

Explanation:

According to grammar rules, the semicolon is used to separate independent clauses without including conjunctions. Also, the semicolon is correct if the sentences are joined by a conjunctive adverb (however, instead, moreover, as a result, etc.)

This implies it is not correct to use a semicolon with a regular conjunction (and, but, or, so); therefore, the sentence "Raquel was tired; so she decided to go home" has an error in semicolon usage because there is a semicolon along with a conjunction. Instead, a comma should be used or the conjunction "so" should be omitted.

Which sentence might be used to depict the voice of a young character?
LenaWriter [7]

The answer to your question would be that the sentence that can be used to depict the voice of a young character is the following one: We ran the cars and jumped in because we hated school.

I believe that this is the correct answer because of the word choices selected by the speaker. The verbs used are simple verbs of momevent (ran) or phrasal verbs (jumped in). Consequently, the tone is very informal, as opposed to the other sentences which make use of formal word choices adding a lot of description to the passage (eager to jump in our parents' cars, empty parking lot, bursting with excitement, dreaded school, glad to finally be leaving school).

The snacks belong to my brother’s friends. The snacks are theirs or his
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

The snacks are theirs.

Explanation:

You said "my brother's". Let's think of this like groups. That means you and your brother are included into one group and his friends are in the other. If you and your brother are in a group, it wouldn't make sense to say they're his. It'd be theirs because his friends are in the other group and it's their candy.

I hope this helps you!
