Answer:
Imagining this scenario, I feel like being in the story and definitely I will be afraid and panicking. I think this is a scenario of a fire outbreak and the solvent that caused the fire is highly inflammable.
Explanation:
From the excerpt, we can deduce that the event taking place is a fire outbreak. The voice that screamed "Fire!" reveals that there was an outbreak. Also, the way the solvent spread depicts that the solvent is highly inflammable and was engulfing even the kitchen door.
The events of fire outbreak always cause fear and panic. So, imagining myself being in the story, I will definitely be afraid.
Answer:
The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze, and then they bought a pumpkin.
Explanation:
Firstly, let's see if all the revised sentences make grammatical sense.
1. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze, and then they bought a pumpkin.
Sentence one is grammatically correct as it uses and to connect the two clauses.
2. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze; bought a pumpkin.
Sentence two is not grammatically correct as it has an unnecessary semi-colon with a dependent clause.
3. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze, they bought a pumpkin.
Sentence three does not use and to join the two clauses.
4. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze; and then they bought a pumpkin.
Sentence four like sentence two uses an unnecessary semi-colon that does not follow the semi-colon rule.
A semi colon should be used to join two independent clauses or to replace (and, or, but,etc)
Hope it isn't confusing, and it helped! :))
