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.

Did the Americans want war with England in 1764? What makes you think so
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The Americans, the majority of the colonists, didn't want war but, a peaceful separation and the formation of a new country.  Tensions and the British's reluctance towards this idea was which drove the colonists to war.

Explanation:

In 1765, tensions escalated with the Stamp Act which imposed more suffocating British rule over the already fed up colonists. In 1764, Parliament enacted the Sugar Act, an attempt to raise revenue in the colonies through a tax on molasses. Although this tax had been on the books since the 1730s, smuggling and laxity of enforcement had blunted its sting. Now, however, the tax was to be enforced. An outcry arose from those affected, and colonists implemented several effective protest measures that centered around boycotting British goods. Then in 1765, Parliament enacted the Stamp Act, which placed taxes on paper, playing cards, and every legal document created in the colonies. Since this tax affected virtually everyone and extended British taxes to domestically produced and consumed goods, the reaction in the colonies was pervasive. The Stamp Act crisis was the first of many that would occur over the next decade and a half.

THE REASONS FOR LOW PARTICIPATION IN GLOBAL MERCHANDISE TRADES<br> AMONG AFRICAN ECONOMIES
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Mark me as brainlist

Explanation:

Even though global trade has fluctuated over the years, it has also rapidly increased. However, the structure and pattern of trade vary significantly by-products and regions. Undoubtedly, trade has come with both benefits and daunting challenges to countries involved, especially in African nations, where primary and intermediate merchandise formed a substantial share of exports. Because advanced and newly industrialized economies have better technology and know-how, manufacturing industries, access to finance, and market than Africa, they have a greater market proportion in the world trade. Arguably, African countries have been left in the cold as they struggle to compete with advanced economies. As presented in this chapter, Africa has been struggling to be relevant in the world market. However, its global share of merchandise trade has reduced over the decades. This is partly because the continent has concentrated on the exportation of few primary commodities (i.e., mineral fuels, iron ores, gold, cocoa beans) with volatile prices and demand in the global markets. The frequent global oil crunch other raw products are a wake-up call for a rapid industrialization and diversification for competitiveness in Africa. The World Trade Organization (WTO) has to ensure that defensive trade remedies should not be the next frontier of protectionism. Finally, for trade, growth, and development to be stimulated, African countries should urgently open their markets to expand intra-African trade.
