Answer:

2. The semicolon joins two related independent clauses.

Explanation:

One of the functions of semicolons is to link two independent clauses that are closely related but that are not linked with a conjunction like and, but, or, nor, for, yet, or so. An independent clause is a group of words that have at least a subject and a verb and that express a complete thought on its own, such as the clauses "Leticia has to leave early this afternoon" and "she has a doctor's appointment."

In that sentence, the semicolon is used to join those two independent clauses that are closely related.

Rural farmers grouped together in the 1890s around what monetary issue?

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer: B. Free Silver

Explanation:

Free Silver was an economic policy whereby the money supply of the United States would have been based on both silver and gold with silver having a fixed exchange ratio to gold.

This idea was very popular with rural farmers in the South-west of the United States as it would have given them more profit from farming and an easier way to pay off debt. The Democrats under William Jennings Bryan supported this but were defeated in every election where they stood for it.
