Answer: The semicolon is used correctly in sentence D. Joe watered the garden; however, the plants did not grow.

Explanation: A semicolon is a punctuation mark mainly used to join two independent clauses. When using a semicolon, conjunctions should not be added. Moreover, a semicolon is used in a sentence when there is a conjunctive adverb connecting two independent clauses. Therefore,<u> the sentence that uses the semicolon correctly is D.</u> ("Joe watered the garden; however, the plants did not grow")<u> since the semicolon has been used before a conjunctive adverb ("however") that is connecting two independent clauses. </u>

natali 33 [55]

here you are hopefully this helps good luck : )

living in fear creates a prison of one’s own making, Avoiding and withdrawing from what we fear, and to live happily ever after.

In Nadine Gordimer´s "1959: what is Apartheid?"  she quotes "... If you want to know how Africans-black men and women-live in south African, you will get in return for your curiosity an exposition of apartheid in action, for in all of a black man´s life, all his life, rejection by the white man has the last word.

In Athol Fugard´s "Master Harold...and the boys" Hally, one of the characters said "the truth? I seem to be the only one around here who is prepared to face it . We´ve  had the pretty dream, it is time now to wake up and have a good long look at the way things really are".

In both works we can see the level of discrimination and inequality of the Apartheid in South Africa until the 1990´s during Nelson Mandela´s government.
