<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 does this quote mean to you?
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Explanation:

I think this is what a person with a very low self esteem would say. Someone with insecurity issues too. Because why else will one be so bugged about trivial things, going as far as saying they deserve little. I'd give an unsolicited advise the person should stop worrying about public acceptance and just be themselves. There's almost no metric to measure anything when it comes to the things people claim they do or the ones that actually do. The best is to not be bothered by them, and put in your best, I believe the person would come back smiling ultimately
