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!

Summary of adventures of tom sawyer in 100 words​
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Tom Sawyer is a troublemaker. After Tom gets in trouble, he is ordered by Aunt Polly, with whom he lives, to whitewash their fence. When his friends see him painting the fence, Tom pretends that he loves the chore to make his friends jealous. They beg him to let them help. This is a prime example of the type of trouble Tom Sawyer is always getting up to.

Part of the novel is devoted to Tom's romance with Becky Thatcher, a new girl in town. They like each other, but Becky is hurt when she finds out that Tom liked someone else before her. Eventually, he takes the blame for a book she ruined, making her like him again.

Tom is always getting into trouble, usually with his friend, Huckleberry Finn. Together they sneak out to a graveyard at night, where they witness Injun Joe murder Dr. Robinson. Tom, Huck, and their friend, Joe Harper, run away for a little while, making the town think they are dead. Eventually they come back, though, and Tom testifies against Injun Joe in court.

Afterward, Injun Joe runs away, and Tom is terrified for his life. His terror does not stop him from making trouble, though. While he and Huck are hunting for treasure one night, they discover that Injun Joe, who is disguised as a deaf-mute Spaniard, has treasure of his own to bury. Huck agrees to spy on Injun Joe to see where he buries the treasure, while Tom goes on a picnic with his class to McDougal's Cave. During the picnic, Tom and Becky wander off and get lost.

Huck figures out that Injun Joe plans on hurting Widow Douglas. He reports the crime, and Injun Joe runs away to McDougal's Cave. Meanwhile, Tom and Becky are lost for several days in the cave. Eventually they stumble across Injun Joe but hide before he sees them. Shortly after, Tom figures out how to get out of the cave with Becky. He tells Judge Thatcher about Injun Joe being inside, and the town decides to seal Injun Joe inside the cave.

Later, Tom returns to the cave, where he discovers Injun Joe's starved corpse. Shortly thereafter, he and Huck discover where Injun Joe hid his gold. The Widow Douglas adopts Huck, who is unhappy about this development. Tom convinces him to give it a try, promising that it won't stop them from getting up to the occasional mischief.....
