I just did an assignment, and you didn’t list any sentences so I’m going to assume that these are what you needed to solve.

1. Choose the sentence that uses the semicolon correctly.

. The wind knocked over a ladder; the ladder then broke a window.

2. Choose the sentence that uses the semicolon correctly.

.Lorenzo is colorblind; as a result, his wife lays out his clothes every morning.

3. Choose the sentence that uses the semicolon correctly.

. The engine is cold; therefore, you can add more water to the radiator.

4. Choose the sentence that uses the semicolon correctly.

. The air is very stale in the library; moreover, the lighting is poor.

5. Choose the sentence that uses the semicolon correctly.

. Larry is not a good babysitter; he treats his little brother like an insect.

6. Choose the sentence that uses the semicolon correctly.

. The cat slept on the windowsill; she was wrapped in warm sunlight.

7. Choose the sentence that uses the semicolon correctly.

. we decided to leave the restaurant; the food was too expensive.

8. Choose the sentence that uses the semicolon correctly.

. The raisin cookies are delicious; another less, I can’t eat another one.

9. Choose the sentence that uses the semicolon correctly.

. The weatherman predicted a sunny day; however it is Cold and cloudy.

10. Choose the sentence that uses the semicolon correctly.

. The floor must be swept and mopped; in addition, the carpets must be vacuumed.

Notice how everyone one of them, the semicolon is used to separate the main clauses. I hope that helped.

In sentences a semicolon is used to combine two individual sentences; a semicolon is used in the place of a period. I believe this is right but I taught this to myself.

Describe 3-4 experiences that Stephen King shared about his life and explain how those experiences may have influenced him in te
andrezito [222]

Answer and Explanation:

We cannot mention the experiences that King had during his life, without mentioning the moment when he witnessed his friend being hit and killed by a train, when he was a child. Although King claims that it did not influence him at all, we cannot fail to affirm that this is the moment of horror that he lived and that is directly related to his work, but that he can have an influence, even if it is only in the subconscious of King, being exposed when he allows his characters to experience shocking and traumatic moments.

Another experience that King had was the economic difficulty in supporting a family. King married and had children in his youth and had many difficulties in being able to support his family economically. He and his family went through many hardships in relation to money and because of that, King had to deal with the uncertainty and fear of what the future would hold for them. This may have influenced King's work to present very human characters, that in addition to facing supernatural problems, they must deal with real problems of adult life. This allows many readers to identify with the characters.

One last experience to be mentioned is the problem that King faced with alcoholism and drug addiction. This may have been King's most difficult experience, as it made him lose track of reality, a good relationship with his children and wife and the dominance of his life. King's characters constantly deal with these factors, which shows that much of what he writes reflects King's own problems, which makes the work even more palatable, as he manages to write about something he really knows.

How does the author use dramatic irony to create humor in king of the jungle
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

The author provokes naivety in the characters, making them not know the obvious things that the public already knows, creating humor from naivete.

Explanation:

The dramatic irony is identified in a text when the author uses symbols to pass messages to the public without revealing anything to the characters. This creates unpredictability for the character and an advantage for the audience that is following the story. In this case, the author can create humor (where the audience laughs at the character's naivete and therefore his inability to act correctly) or suspense (letting the reader know the element of drama that the character is not aware of).
