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.

the taste of the food (bland, delicious, yummy
the steam off the plate (if the food was warm)
smell of the food
beeping of an oven
feel of the hot plate
warmth from the oven
if there is tv and/or music in the background
maybe sounds from a sibling and/ or pet in the background
temperature in the house
how did the food look (bright, dull, colorful)
the sound of a microwave timer

these would all count as the sensory details of a dinner

Ws or whs are the words used to ask ws or whs questions.

With is the word which is not used mostly to ask questions.
