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.

Hatshy [7]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Explain the following exchange from Romeo and Juliet:

Mercutio: "Nay, gentle Romeo, we must have you dance." Romeo: "Not I, believe me. You have dancing shoes With nimble soles; I have a soul of lead So stakes me to the ground I cannot move."

Answer and Explanation:

In the text shown above, we can see that Mercutio is encouraging Romeo and encouraging him to forget his love problems and have fun. Mercutio tries to show Romeu that it is not worth it to suffer for an unrequited love, but that he must take advantage of the opportunities for entertainment that appear. However, Romeo says he can't do it, because his soul is loaded and heavy with problems.
