<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.

One flew over the cuckoo's nest

1. When McMurphy is trying to pull him out of the fog, he realzes that he's not deaf, he started acting like that, because people thought he was too dumb to hear or understand all the thing they were saying, that reveals too why he was so oppressed and hasn't recovered.

2. Chief Bromden is the narrator of the story, he's an obsever since he is deaf and can't talk, he listened all that the people said, but this description of the fog is important because it allow us to understand the state of mind the patients had from Bromden's point of view and according to him, was produced by Nurse Ratched with her strict, mind-numbing routines and humiliating treatment. The character that takes all the patients out of the fog (the oppresion and incapability to recover and be sane aganin) is McMurphy.

Answer:

I think homework is a helpful tool to understand and practice what we saw in class. I think so because there is not enough time to practice and assimilate the new information in the school. For example, during Maths, the teacher might only have time to explain the quadratic function, but not enough time for his students to practice different quadratic function exercises to comprehend the topic and check if they are struggling. This shows that homework is necessary for an effective learning process; therefore, I agree that homework is a helpful tool that helps students to understand and practice what we saw in class.

Explanation:

The TOPIC SENTENCE has to be at the beginning of the paragraph. In this case, it is "I think homework is a helpful tool to understand and practice what we saw in class."

The SUPPORTING INFORMATION has to follow the topic sentence, and it is there to prove what we stated with the topic sentence. In this case, the supporting information is "I think so because there is not enough time to practice and assimilate the new information in the school. For example, during Maths, the teacher might only have time to explain the quadratic function, but not enough time for his students to practice different quadratic function exercises to comprehend the topic and check if they are struggling."

The EXPLANATION has to be after we have presented our evidence. With the explanation, we can express our point of view and connect it with the supporting information. In this paragraph, it is "This shows that homework is necessary for an effective learning process." Lastly, we write the CONCLUDING SENTENCE, in this case, it is "therefore, I agree that homework is a helpful tool that helps students understand and practice what we saw in class."
