Answer:
A semi colon is used to link 2 related clauses, before a conjunctive adverb or transitional phrase connecting 2 clauses, and separating items on a list that also contains commas
Explanation:
A semi colon ";" is a punctuation mark with 3 functions; it is used:
- <u>To link 2 complete and independent clauses that are related.</u> Example: Kate loves attending ballet class; when she dances, she feels like a butterfly.
- <u>Before a conjunctive adverb or transitional phrase that is connecting two complete and independent clauses.</u> Example: Susan has never enjoyed playing sports; nevertheless, she never misses an NFL game on TV.
- To separate items in a list that also contains commas. Example: Children usually like eating ice cream with different topping combinations such as: caramel, nuts and chocolate chips; strawberries, marshmallows and pecans; and coconut, brownie bites and whipped cream.
When reading, semicolons indicate a pause moderately longer than that of a comma, but shorter than that of a period.

Answer: The flag went up and down in the wind.
Explanation:
The poem "Barbara Frietchie" tells the story of an old woman in a Union town during the Civil War named Barbara Frietchie. She defended the Union flag against General Jackson and so he let it be.
The action described in those lines describes a flag that kept going up and down with the word "ever" meant to describe that the movement was consistent.
The following line then gives the reason why it kept going up and down to be the wind. Another way to describe those lines therefore is to say that the flag went up and down in the wind.
