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.

Which paragraph provides the BEST Variety in sentence patterns
andrezito [222]

The paragraph that provides the best variety in sentence patterns is B. my cousin the one who lives in Japan just sent me a text message she is excited about traveling and mentioned she would like to see various places including New York and the Grand Canyon.

In this paragraph, the use of compound and complex sentences make it more varied than the other options. In the first sentence, the word <em>who</em> introduces a dependent clause within the main clause that is <em>my cousin sent me a text message.</em> The second sentence is a compound sentence since it contains two Verbal phrases, <em>mentioned and would like to see</em>, joined by the connector <em>and. </em>
