The answer here would be answer choice C. When reading this statement out loud, one can tell that there is a "gap" at the beginning between "he" and "is". It starts up an entirely new statement without any punctuation, so we can tell that this is the only place that our semicolon deserves to go.

Answer:

The most concise way to combine these three sentences is:

d. Rumbling and low, the glittering cars come cruising up Broadway.

Explanation:

Concise means brief. That is, we are supposed to find a way to convey the same message as the original sentences but with few words.

First, we need to see what the sentences have in common, so that we can eliminate repetition. All three clearly speak of "the cars", so we can only mention that subject one. Sentences 2 and 3 use the verb "are" followed by characteristics of the cars. We can use those characteristics as adjectives, right before the subject, instead of as predicates. That way, we eliminate the excessive use of verbs in one sentence. That is precisely what letter D does:

d. Rumbling and low, the glittering cars come cruising up Broadway.

Sophie [7]

The girls, Joanna and Mary Jane, have treated Huck very nicely, which is the reason why he decides to steal the gold back from the Duke and the King and give it back to them. He didn't want to swindle those kind girls any longer, which is why he wanted to help them rather than conceal those two criminals.
