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>

ehidna [41]

Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I inferred you are referring to the passage found in the book "Collections Close Reader: Grade 8."

<u>Explanation:</u>

Remember, a <u>simile</u> is a literary device that compares two things that exactly aren't similar or alike as though they were, in other to give a good description.

For a simile about the narrator: one good example is when read;

<em>"</em><em><u>Chatter like a monkey</u></em><em> when I command adult attention."</em> Here the author uses the expression "Chatterlike a monkey" to depict the talkative nature of the narrator when given attention, just as how a monkey makes noise.

For a simile about the mother:  one good example is when read;

<em>"She rises </em><em><u>against the sun like a skyscraper,</u></em><em> and when I draw her in my notebook, she takes up the entire page." </em>The mother's bold and courageous nature is compared to the height of a<em><u> skyscraper.</u></em>
