Penelope, the weaver, is a literary reference to fidelity.  

While Odysseus is absent, Penelope is pretended by several men, who settle in the palace and nastily eat her banquets, while waiting for the queen to choose one of them. To maintain her fidelity, Penelope tells the suitors that she will accept a new husband when she finishes weaving a shroud for King Laertes, on whom she was working. To prolong this task as long as possible, Penelope undoes at night what she weaves during the day, however, a woman betrays her an tell the other men, so she is forced to finish the job.

Which sentence demonstrates correct use of the semicolon?
Ket [755]
The correct answer is - Sara suddenly became very ill; therefore, she went to see her doctor.
A semicolon is used to separate two sentences, two separate but also connected thoughts. It should come naturally as a pause within a sentence, which is why the first three options are incorrect as they break up the sentence in grammatically incorrect locations.

When we saw him he was drenched because he _________________________.
lord [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. i and ii.

Explanation:

You need to use past tense (found in i and ii) because the action took place in the past - we saw him doing something in the past (in this case, cycling). Therefore, this rules out iii. because it's a present moment.

However, if it's his routine (he cycles only in the rain), then iii. would also be correct - so it really depends on how you interpret the sentence (it is a bit ambiguous).
