In which one of the following sentences is the semicolon used correctly?

1 answer:

7 0

<span>The correct answer is A. To use a semi colon correctly, the clauses on both sides of the semi colon must be able to stand alone as their own sentences. "Cheryl's favorite snack is chocolate" and "She could eat it daily" indeed are able to stand separate from one another, rendering the semi colon correct. B and C are incorrect because they use a semi colon as if it were a comma. D is incorrect because it's using a semi colon as if it were a colon (which often introduces a list).</span>

1. Which figure of speech is exemplified by lines 149–151 of the excerpt from The Odyssey, Part III?

polet [3.4K]

I think it is personification, because personification means to make non living things sound real, and the lines 149-151 follow that. “The taut gut vibrating hummed and sang a swallow’s note.”
