Answer:

Helmer Torvald wants his wife Nora to be the type of wife who will depend on him for assistance and in whatever she does. He wants her to be incapable of living without him.

By calling her by different names, animal and bird names, Helmer is asserting his superiority and power over her, representative of the society's stand on patriarchal notions.

Explanation:

In Henrik Ibsen's "<em>A Doll's House</em>", Helmer calls Nora by various nick names as his way of asserting his authority over her. through the images of the bird and animals names, he is imagining himself as a protective figure in her life, the one to depend on and the masculine help that Nora needs to survive. Through the name calling, he is not only asserting his power but also dehumanizes her to a certain level. he sees himself as superior to her feminine being, incapable of surviving without a stronger presence. The only time he ever calls her by her name is to scold her. Other than that, he uses the nicknames, depicting his personal convictions of maintaining the gender roles in the society and family of those times.

<span>A Hasidic legend tells us that the great Rabbi Baal-Shem-Tov, Master of the Good Name, also known as the Besht, undertook an urgent and perilous mission: to hasten the coming of the Messiah. The Jewish people, all humanity were suffering too much, beset by too many evils. They had to be saved, and swiftly. For having tried to meddle with history, the Besht was punished; banished along with his faithful servant to a distant island. In despair, the servant implored his master to exercise his mysterious powers in order to bring them both home. "Impossible", the Besht replied. "My powers have been taken from me". "Then, please, say a prayer, recite a litany, work a miracle". "Impossible", the Master replied, "I have forgotten everything". They both fell to weeping.</span>

The sentence that does not use a semicolon correctly is "Chinchillas are fascinating; and they live longer than most rodents," option B, as explained below.

<h3>How to use semicolons</h3>

When punctuating sentences, we must pay attention to the correct use of semicolons. Let's use the sentences provided in the question to see the proper use:

  • Sentence 1 - Correct. We should place a semicolon before a clause introduced with "however."
  • Sentence 2 - Incorrect. We should place a comma before the conjunction that introduces an independent clause, not a semicolon.
  • Sentence 3 - Correct. We use semicolons to separate long items on a list.
  • Sentence 4 - Correct. We use semicolons between independent clauses that are not joined by a conjunction.

With the information above in mind, we can conclude that sentence that does not use a semicolon correctly is "Chinchillas are fascinating; and they live longer than most rodents," option B.
