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.

HELP!!!!<br>What is the relationship between the Beast and the Lord of the Flies?
Rama09 [41]
The Lord of the Flies is a pig's head on a stick, which is severed from the body of a sow which is hunted and killed by Jack and his hunters. Jack puts it on a sharpened stick, and leaves it as a gift to the beast.
The parachuted man is, like the Lord of the Flies, just an innocent happening. Nothing scary. But the boy's imaginations and fears, just as Simon's did to the pig's head, make it into a beast. It's all in the mind - and the "evil" of the beast is too. What makes them scared - and what makes them behave badly - is the darkness of their own hearts
