English
1 answer:
patriot [66]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

A. to join independent clauses that appear to be connected by a conjunctive adverb

Explanation:

A semicolon is the symbol ";" and it is used in a variety of situations:

- to separate a series/list that already includes commas

<em>e.g. I travelled to Miami, Florida; Austin, Texas; and Los Angeles, California.</em>

- to join independent clauses that are closely related in thought:

<em>e.g. When I arrived, I thought I would have time to buy a snack; I didn't.</em>

- and many more

However, the main usage of a semicolon is joining independent clauses that "appear to be connected by a conjunctive adverb":

<em>e.g. She didn't study; </em><em>thus</em><em>, she failed the test.</em>

<em />

The answer is A.

The priest sank down into the green chair and picked up a glossy missionary magazine. He turned the colored pages full of lepers
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:  While the priest seemed disinterested and implied he could not go with the man, he changed his mind at the last minute.

Explanation: When we first meet the priest, he is simply turning pages in the magazine.  He then tells Leon that he is not able to attend because of improper protocol.  But as Leon is getting up to leave, the priest tells him to wait, and comes back with a coat on.  This shows us that the priest has had a change of heart and decided to go after all.
