Answer:

B. The meeting was only supposed to be for an hour; however, it ran for nearly 3 hours.

Explanation:

A semicolon is most commonly used to link (in a single sentence) two independent clauses that are closely related in thought. When a semicolon is used to join two or more ideas (parts) in a sentence, those ideas are then given equal position or rank. Use the semicolon if you have two independent clauses <em>connected without a conjunction</em>. Also use the semicolon when you already have commas within a sentence for smaller separations, and you need the semicolon to show bigger separations.

How can you prevent making logical fallacies in arguments?
FrozenT [24]
Focus on looking back over your arguments frequently. Keep yourself on track for the point that you're trying to create by staying both true and relevant to the topic at hand. Also, provide good support for your argument. Avoid making assumptions. Lastly, compare your argument to the list of all fallacies. Does your piece fall under any of those at any time? If so, you then know what to fix. Hope this helps.

Children who read tend to do better at school and professionally. The rise in technology means increased demands for higher literacy and consequences are grievous for those who fall short, according to "Preventing Reading Difficulties in Young Children."

Critical Thinking
The growth of digital media as a source of information has reduced the ability of children to critically evaluate the information they are exposed to, says Professor Patricia Greenfield, director of the Children's Digital Media Center at UCLA. Critical thinking skills are crucial in helping students achieve more than a cursory understanding of any topic and helps them form their own opinions. Reading requires a person to think and process information in a way that watching television may not. The more you read, the deeper your understanding becomes of what you are reading and its application. Greenfield tells parents to encourage their children to read and should read to their children. Developing writing skills can help you strengthen your ability to make reasoned arguments on a variety of subjects, which is useful in school and on the job.

Improved Communication Skills
Improving your reading and writing skills also goes hand in hand with developing your communication skills. The more you read and write, the more you broaden your vocabulary and are able to articulate concepts accurately and more effectively to others. Increasing your ability to communicate also helps make you a better worker or student.

More Opportunities
Studies show that people with advanced reading and writing skills have more opportunities in school and professionally than those who do not develop these skills. Children who are avid readers will often find school more appealing. Literary readers are more likely "to engage in positive civic and individual activities--such as volunteering, attending sports or cultural events, and exercising" than non-readers, according to the NEA study.

What is fake news? please use a middle school example and please explain it in your own words!
Lynna [10]

Answer: “Fake news” is a term that has come to mean different things to different people. At its core, we are defining “fake news” as those news stories that are false: the story itself is fabricated, with no verifiable facts, sources or quotes. Sometimes these stories may be propaganda that is intentionally designed to mislead the reader, or may be designed as “clickbait” written for economic incentives (the writer profits on the number of people who click on the story). In recent years, fake news stories have proliferated via social media, in part because they are so easily and quickly shared online.
