Help Which sentence uses the semicolon correctly?

English
1 answer:
Sloan [31]2 years ago

Answer:

O 2. The extremely hot summer afternoons of southern Spain are best spent indoors indulging in a post-lunch siesta (nap), watching  television, or doing homework; most people avoid going outside again until at least 8:00 or 9:00 p.m., when the heat finally begins to  subside.

Explanation:

A semi-colon is a punctuation mark that is used to separate two or more related independent clauses without the use of a coordinating conjunction. It is also used to list items or elements of a sentence and can be used to join and separate the sentences that are related.

In the given options, the correct usage of the semicolon is seen in sentence 2. This is because the first part of the sentence contains a number of things that can be done whereas the second part talks about a related topic but different from the first part.

In the first independent clause, we use the comma to separate the lists and then use a semi-colon to separate but join the two independent clauses together.

Thus, the correct answer is option 2.

1. Which of these activities is the best example of cunning?
prohojiy [21]

I think this is right but I'm not sure but I'll try my best

1) D because cunning refers to skill in deceit and trickery, and telling a convincing lie is the only option that involves both skill and deceit.

2) D because to speak to somebody in confidence means that you want to be confident that the information shared is between the group you share confidence with. Nurse wishes to speak to Romeo in confidence that he will not tell anybody because it is a secret and she wishes only for Romeo to know.

3) B because to counter something means to go against that thing. An example is a counter-argument, or an argument against another argument.

4) B because that is the act <em>against</em> someone. All the other options demonstrate a command, but not a <em>countermand, </em>if you get my gist.

5) A (i think) because the decision to get married was an unwise and hasty decision made of young lust, and ulimately caused the great tragedy. If Romeo and Juliet had taken things slower, things might've been possible renegotiated or at least thought over.

6) B because Friar Lawrence is really Romeo's 'father figure' because his father is so often absent in his life. He acts as a mentor and tries to help Romeo get married to his love.
