Answer:

A. By this time, the government had spent an estimated $22 million on the project; Hughes had personally spent $18 million of his own money.

B. Henry J. Kaiser, a steelmaker, and shipbuilder, originally conceived the idea for the new prototype; however, Howard Hughes and his staff are credited with the actual design and construction of the craft

Explanation:

Semicolons can be used to join two sentences or independent clauses that are closely related to each other but not linked with a conjunction like and, but, or, nor, for, yet, or so, such as in sentence A, where the semicolon marks a slight break between the first and second clause; and it can also be used before a transition word or phrase (like “however,” “of course” and “as a result”) to mark a slight pause (not as strong as a period) between two idea, just like it is being used in sentence B.

In at least 100 words, describe why Dickinson might have used an arc structure for "Because I could not stop for Death."
velikii [3]
Dickinson's "Because I could not stop for Death" is structured as arc because throughout the course of the poem, Dickinson takes the reader on her journey. At the beginning she discusses how she sees the school children, which represents her youth. Then, she writes about the "fields grazing grain," which represents her adulthood. Finally, she talks about the setting sun and her at her old age. Each of these are leading to death when she is being brought to the grave. This allows for the reader to understand that death comes to everyone and ends our mortality.

Hope this helps you!

Answer: I would contend that the right answer is actually the D) by expressing the speaker's sarcasm.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little bit on the answer, it can be added that by using a rhyming and concise couplet, the author, the brilliant African American poet Phillis Wheatley (1753-1784), was able to very effectively call attention to her sarcastic words, which apparently attempt at praising, but were truly aimed at mocking, King George III, who was King of England during the American Revolution. This poem was, in fact, a harsh criticism of the monarch and the economic burden he imposed on the American colonies.
