We have here two independent clauses:
1)<span>The space shuttle is taking off on Saturday
2)</span><span>the departure time is 3:00 P.M
When you have two independent clauses which are not joined by any conjunction, you should put a semicolon between them. So in any case the following option is the correct one:!
</span>
<span>A. The space shuttle is taking off on Saturday; the departure time is 3:00 P.M. </span>
The three main countries that founded settlements in Norther America were Spain, France, and England. Spain's main motivation was to find gold, while France's was to trade furs. England's was for territorial reasons but they ended up profiting heavily from tobacco sales. <span />
2. The French and Indian War began in 1754 and ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763. The war provided Great Britain enormous territorial gains in North America, but disputes over subsequent frontier policy and paying the war's expenses led to colonial discontent, and ultimately to the American Revolution.
False. It was suppose to but each branch maintained their own.
Hope my answer helped you :)
