English

The purpose of the semicolon in the example is to join <span>two related independent clauses (option B)

In this case, the semicolon is used instead of a conjunction. They are generally related however, the second part might not be an explanation or clarification. 
the semicolon could have been replaced by BECAUSE perfectly well. 

- </span><span>Leticia has to leave early this afternoon because she has a doctor's appointment.</span>

I think the answer would be B, since both sentences in this one are both independent clauses, and the semicolon separates them.

8). The factory was opened by us at nine o'clock.

9). The documents are kept in this drawer.

10). We were told by a man to wait outside.

Explanation:

Passive voice is described as the grammatical construction in which the object and the action stated by the verb are emphasized rather than the subject. The subject in such construction becomes the recipient of the action and is acted upon(by the verb). It helps in showing interest in the noun(in object place) which undergoes the action instead of the doer(subject) who performs it.

In order to convert the given sentences from the active voice to the passive voice, the object will be substituted with the subject in order to shift the emphasis. Since the subject is the recipient of the action, it can be omitted or written using 'by' as mentioned above.

Give three examples of how the author gives a sense of Jem's character in the first chapter. Discuss the author's use of verb mo
Zarrin [17]
Unlike Atticus and Calpurnia, Harper Lee does not give us a paragraph describing Jem. Instead we must learn about his character through his actions and speech. Sometimes Scout will use a descriptive sentence for her brother's character but mostly the reader learns about him as the story progresses. Many of Jem's statements in the first chapter are written in the imperative mood. For example, he says, "Don't blame me when he gouges your eyes out." By using the imperative mood, Harper Lee shows Jem to be older and seemingly the leader of Dill and Scout. The use of the indicative mood in Jem's dialogue also shows his stubbornness as a leader. When Dill is pressuring him into touching the house of Boo Radley, Jem says, "I'm going...don't hurry me." Even though Jem is worried about what may happen when he touches the house, he stays in control of the situation by using both the indicative and imperative mood in this sentence. Jem is also seen as the protector of Scout. When Jem is hesitant about making Boo Radley come out of the house because he fears for his life, Scout notes, "Besides, Jem had his little sister to think of." It is clear from this sentence, that Jem looks out for Scout which shows that he is a protective, responsible older brother.
