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.

George Washington's view on bigotry was that people who do not value variety and religious freedom are bigots and this is what is found in Patel's point of view which is that people need to work together regardless of their religion.

Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon.” How shall I tell what I saw? There was no smell of man left, on stone or metal
marshall27 [118]

The correct answer is “They give the sense that nature has taken over a once-urban area”. Taken from the short story “<em>By the Waters of Babylon</em>” by Stephen Vincent Benét (1937), the passage presented above narrates the moment when John, the son of a priest, visits <u>the Place of the Gods</u>. The Place of the Gods or The Dead Place was a great city that was destroyed by a great burning and it was said to be inhabited with spirits and demons since then. Since the passage describes this desolate place, the writer used a suspense tone in the narration. It is said to be desolate because the state of the place is completely empty, and <u>nature has taken over the place</u>. In fact, the words “<em>stone or metal,</em>” “<em>many pigeons,</em>” “<em>towers,</em>” and "<em>wild cats that roam the god-roads</em>” describe the details of a desolate place that has been taken over by nature, which is <u>the Place of the Gods</u>.
