What show is this ...this question does not have enough information.
She claims that the women have the same qualities as men, and are therefore entitled to the right to vote. She called upon the constitution to prove this as she said that the constitution ensures her rights and liberties, and therefore women should have the same rights as men.
I think either excited or confused. Since the first sentence is well, with an exclamation point, I guess I would lean towards excited. It would help to know more of the story.
An independent clause is a sentence or part of one that can stand alone.
So I have a feeling that the first one is correct as "My sister and I love to cook" and "we spend hours cooking together" can both stand alone yet are joined by a semicolon.
I hope this has helped
You would have used B. context clues. The reasoning for this is you have used other words in the sentence and around this word to help you figure the meaning.
