The correct answer is A. The sky was blue this morning; nevertheless, rain was expected.

Explanation:

The semicolon (;) is a punctuation mark that has different functions in terms of grammar these functions include separating items in a lists, especially if these are long or contain details; linking two independent clauses (sentences that are complete) directly; and joining two or more independent clauses through a conjunctive adverb such as <em>however, consequently, therefore </em>or<em> nevertheless</em>. Additionally, it is important to avoid replacing a comma or other punctuation mark with a semicolon or using semicolon to link two idependent clauses when these are already link by conjunctions  such as <em>or, but, and</em>. Considering this, the choice or statement that shows the proper way to use a semicolon is "The sky was blue this morning; nevertheless, rain was expected" because in this statement the semicolon  links two independent clauses (each with a subject and verb) "The sky was blue this morning" and "rain was expected" by using a conjunctive adverb which in this case is "nevertheless" and therefore the use of semicolon follows the grammatical rules and shows the correct way to use this punctuation mark.

why has machiavelli’s the prince evoked so much discussion and controversy? what do readers find enlightening, horrifying, or di
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
Many people found it disturbing because of the methods that he suggested for staying in power as a ruler. One example can be when he says that if you take down a king, you have numerous options what to do with his family. He further says that although there are many ways to handle them, history has proven that the most effective is to kill everyone, which made the people call him evil or much worse. He does not however state that this is his belief, but rather that this is what successful rulers throughout history did, so it's kind of a misunderstanding.
