What's the difference between : and ;?

English

7 0

Semicolon - ;

Is used when you need to piece two sentences together but using a comma wouldn't fit or be appropriate for the sentence. As follows:

"I have to study for finals tonight; I can't go out."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Colon -  :

Is used for "As follows" ect.

Example: <-- (That)

Primary colors:   <-- (That)

Red

Blue

Yellow


Good luck!

Which passage most clearly uses a logos appeal?
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

A. Knowing that the attack might reach us in all too short a time, we

immediately began greatly to increase our industrial strength and

our capacity to meet the demands of modern warfare.

Explanation:

The attack is coming quickly so the logical thing to do is to prepare. The other examples are motivational or pathological statements while the first one (A) uses a clear and methodical string of thought to find a solution for the coming attack.

(If a picture type thing helps you: attack coming soon---what do we do?---begin to prepare for the attack immediately.)
