Which character trait of Sherlock Holmes does this excerpt from "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle illustrate?
A. His ambitious nature
B. His perfectionist nature
C. His tendency to be cautious
D. His powers of observation
The correct answer is D. His power of observation
Explanation:
In this excerpt, the narrator describes how the detective Sherlock Holmes noticed the stains of mud in the jacket of the woman, and based on this evidence Holmes knew this woman had traveled on a train recently. This discovery requires specialized observation and analysis. Indeed, this shows Sherlock Holmes' power of observation because he was keen enough to notice the smears and then reach a valid conclusion as the woman admits Sherlock's conclusion is true "and came in by the first train to Waterloo."

The correct sentence is option two:

The semicolon is a punctuation mark which indicates a pause, usually between two clauses that are not joined by a coordinating conjunction. Semicolons can also replace commas to separate elements in a list that already includes commas.
In the example sentence, the semicolon separates two clauses. Besides, a comma follows the introductory phrase "for example" because it introduces a clause.
