Answer:

The sentence that uses the semicolon properly is:

I never know what to get him for his birthday; perhaps I will get him a bicycle.

Explanation:

The reasons behind this answer are two: First, semicolons are used to unite two independent clauses or in other words. Two sentences can exist without further information about the topic. Second, there is an adverb that separates them in our case "perhaps" is that adverb. Thus, the chosen option is the correct answer.

Which sentence is written in passive voice? As I said these words I busied myself among the pile of bones of which I have before
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

It seemed to have been constructed for no special use within itself…

Explanation:

There are two types of voices when it comes to the English grammar and these are the <em>"passive voice</em>" and the<em> "active voice."</em>

"Passive voice" means that<u> the recipient of the verb's action is the</u><u> "subject."</u> This is opposite to that of the active voice wherein <u>the subject is the one which acts upon its verb.</u>

The subject above is "It" and it is the recipient of the verb "have been constructed."

So, this explains the answer.
