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>

. What is Sarah Jewett suggesting when she writes about Sylvia's increasing attraction to the hunter in "A White Heron"?
qaws [65]
I think the answer is that Sylvia is experiencing falling in love. She is extremely attracted to the hunter, and might be actually falling in love with him, but the important thing here is that she doesn't follow her physical attraction, she follows her philosophical learnings.
