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.

How does Robert’s interaction with Ruth change the direction of the plot? What does this foreshadow about Robert’s character?
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Ruth convinces Robert to stay on the farm rather than leave on his planned trip with his uncle. This changes the direction of the plot because rather than following his dream of travel, Robert is staying on the farm where he will likely be unhappy. This is foreshadowed as the scene comes to a close:

RUTH. (in a soft murmur) Yes. Our very own star. (They stand for a moment looking up at it, their arms around each other. Then RUTH takes his hand again and starts to lead him away) Come, Rob, let’s go. (His eyes are fixed again on the horizon as he half turns to follow her. RUTH urges) We’ll be late for supper, Rob.

ROBERT. (shakes his head impatiently, as though he were throwing off some disturbing thought—with a laugh) All right. We’ll run then. Come on! (They run off laughing as The Curtain Falls)
