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.

kap26 [50]

Explanation:

The Wife of Bath is a wise and bold woman. She can answer to a king and disagree with the statement someone told him. This statement can not be taken for granted. She reconsiders the describing of women as discreet and secret. She answers from her perspective and insight. Her answer classifies her as a woman who is wise, smart and resourceful. She describes women opposite from the pronounced. The Wife of Bath emphasizes the claim that women can not hide or conceal a thing. This explains her’s opinion and belief about women. She does not defend them, she reveals the truth about them, and it shows that she is equal to both genders.
