The Mississippi River Without question America's greatest river, the Mississippi, has made major contributions to the physical a

nd economic growth of the nation. Coursing through the heart of America, it supplies water for the cities and industries that have located along its banks. In 1705 the first cargo was floated down the river from the Indian country around Wabash. This was a load of 15,000 bear and deer hides.. The Mississippi River is the main stem of a network of inland navigable waterways which form a system of about 12,350 miles in length. from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, by Mark Twain Tom’s mind was made up now. He was gloomy and desperate. He was a forsaken, friendless boy, he said; nobody loved him; when they found out what they had driven him to, perhaps they would be sorry; he had tried to do right and get along, but they would not let him; since nothing would do them but to be rid of him, let it be so; and let them blame him for the consequences—why shouldn't they? What right had the friendless to complain? Yes, they had forced him to it at last: he would lead a life of crime. There was no choice. (Tom is now joined by Joe)…As the two boys walked sorrowing along, they made a new compact to stand by each other and be brothers and never separate till death relieved them of their troubles. Then they began to lay their plans. Joe was for being a hermit, and living on crusts in a remote cave, and dying, some time, of cold and want and grief; but after listening to Tom, he conceded that there were some conspicuous advantages about a life of crime, and so he consented to be a pirate. Three miles below St. Petersburg, at a point where the Mississippi River was a trifle over a mile wide, there was a long, narrow, wooded island, with a shallow bar at the head of it, and this offered well as a rendezvous. It was not inhabited; it lay far over toward the further shore, abreast a dense and almost wholly unpeopled forest. So Jackson's Island was chosen. Who were to be the subjects of their piracies was a matter that did not occur to them.
Which statement supports information from both passages?
A) Tom and Joe became pirates on the Mississippi River, stealing cargo from Wabash.
B) The Mississippi River is an imaginary, but powerful symbol of energy and freedom.
C) The physical and economic growth of Tom and Joe are foreshadowed by the setting of the Mississippi River.
D) The Mississippi River places the novel's characters in the heart of America, while supporting the boys' idea of becoming pirates.

Please help ARE THESE a semicolon or comma <br><br> ; or , I NEED HELP ASAP I GIVE BRAINLY
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

1) semicolon

2) comma

3) semicolon

Explanation:

semicolons are used to separate two independent clauses. Independent clauses are phrases that make sense on their own. The comma is needed in #2 because the phrases don't make sense on their own. In that case, a semicolon wouldn't work there.
