English

<u> B) It had been a most unpleasant coincidence that the power outage had come when we had guests staying over; the entire house was full.</u>

This is the correct answer because the semicolon is carrying out its function here: to join two independent clauses that are related to each other.

A, C and D are wrong because they all have conjunction following the semicolon: "and" and "so". And semicolons aren't used with conjunctions, as for they both perform the same function: to link two independent clauses. So when trying to connect two independent clauses, we can either use a semicolon or conjunction, not both at the same time.

What is the connection between Anne Frank and Asiieh and Sydney in paragraph 9? Cite evidence from the text in your answer.
Colt1911 [192]

Answer: Both Sydney and Asiieh live in bad living areas and are having a rough time in their life.

Explanation:

The South Side of Chicago is known for their high rate of crime. Asiieh worries about her family and if she will ever leave the area she was born in and have a better life.

Hazara is living in an immigrant camp with bad conditions, cramped living quarters, and sees violence on a daily basis. She wants to be able to leave and have a better life also.

The text that Anne wrote that is similar to these other girls issues is: "I simply can't build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death."
