D seems like the most correct.

BartSMP [9]3 years ago

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>

Sergeu [11.5K]

Hi. You have not shown the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you as best I can.

To answer this question, you will need to read the entire text, understand the theme and the central topic of the text, and then reread paragraph 16. The text theme is the message it wants to promote and the topic is the subject being presented in the text. For this to be developed in paragraph 16, this paragraph will need to show how this theme and topic actually apply, or the paragraph must present evidence to show that the topic and topic are real and true. In other words, we can state that this paragraph should show that it should stimulate the understanding of the topic and theme of the text, making them more palpable and identifiable for the reader.
