Which sentence correctly uses the semicolon?

English
2 answers:

<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.

How would your verbal communication style differ for these two groups of people (children vs. senior citizens)?
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

My verbal communication style would differ from that of a child or senior citizen since we all have different ages and ways of expressing ourselves.

Explanation:

Verbal communication is one where the message is verbalized, since the words are used either orally or in writing.

Verbal communication arises from the need to communicate.

Verbal language or speech is not a quality that comes with birth, but is acquired by the child laboriously during childhood, becoming an important and fundamental instrument for communication and cognitive activity.

That is why as we grow, we acquire more verbal communication. And that is why a child, a young person and a senior citizen will not have the same styles and languages to express themselves since they have had different lifetimes to acquire them.
