WILL MARK BRAINIES!!!!PLZ HELP!!!! The following answer choices contain a paragraph from a John Muir article. Read each answer c

hoice and select the one that uses semicolons correctly. Two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of Yosemite Valley, I found a book. It was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. The paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried; however, many of the inner pages were well preserved. And although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. This is the condition of the great open book of Yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.

Answer:

The answer should be the first one.

Explanation:

A semicolon is used to join two independent clauses.

It links up two related ideas by narrowing the gap between the ideas of two separate sentences. You can use semicolons to divide the items of a list if the items are long or contain internal punctuation

In simpler terms, anywhere you can place an "and" or a "but", you can also place a semicolon. This simple trick can be used when you're solving questions like this. Just take out the semicolons in a sentence and replace them with "and" or "but". If it doesn't make sense, it's not correct!

Hope this helps!

1. what is beneatha's conflict regarding her cultural heritage and her life in america? is it an internal
grin007 [14]

1. It is Beneatha's external conflict.

2. It is Mama's internal conflict.

3. It is Walter's external conflict.

4. It is Ruth's internal conflict.

It is so because, 1) Beneatha was struggling with her real identity.

                           2) As Mama was the beneficiary of her husband's insurance money, to which she thoughted to spend to buy a house as it was her and Mr. Younger's dream. But Walter was resisting for that money as well.

                          3) Walter wanted to become a quick rich and to become a self sufficient business owner, through which he will be able to fulfill all his dreams.

                          4) Ruth's internal conflict was whether to terminate her pregnancy, which later on turned into external conflict as her mother-in-law opposes her this decision.

Tell me which highlighted sentence is independent
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

"Today's medical students owe a debt to Dr. Henry Gray"

Explanation:

An independent clause is a part of a sentence that can stand alone and still be a complete sentence. A complete sentence has a subject and a verb.

In the problem, the independent clause is "Today's medical students owe a debt to Dr. Henry Gray". This is because we can take this section of the sentence out of the original and it can still make sense by itself since it has the subject ("students") and the verb ("owe").

The other part of the sentence is a dependent clause because it cannot stand alone: while it does have a verb "is", it does not have a main subject to go with that verb.

Hope this helps!
