Answer:

The correct answer is a) Matthew has lived in several different cities: Twin Falls, Idaho; Charleston, South Carolina; and Des Moines, Iowa.

Explanation:

The reason why this sentence is correct because the use of colon and semi colon is correct in it.  Semi colon is basically used to separate elements that are different from each other. In this sentence, a small pause pause was required between the different elements which could not be catered with a comma or full stop. In comparison to other options, this option had the nest use of it that made sense.

Answer:

The correct answer is a) Matthew has lived in several different cities: Twin Falls, Idaho; Charleston, South Carolina; and Des Moines, Iowa.

Explanation:

In this sentence, the correct use of the colon and semicolon is observed. The colon is used when in a sentence it is required to make a statement about what was mentioned previously in the text, implying to the reader that the text continues and that a pause should be made. The pause is less than what would be done if it were a point but more significant than what is done for a comma. Example: <em>In the candy store, there were: chocolate, popsicles, and candies of all flavors. </em>

The semicolon is used in situations where it is necessary to separate elements of the sentence that are expressions that include commas, for example: It is necessary to buy bread, ham, and cheese for sandwiches; Lettuce, seeds, and vegetables for the salad.

<em>I hope this information can help you.</em>
