<u>1. To Join Two Independent Clauses in a Sentence </u> The first is to separate what are technically called independent clauses. Just think of these as complete sentences—they have a subject and a verb, and they could stand alone as sentences of their own. Take these two sentences, for instance:
• Jeff is tall. • Bill is short.
These are complete sentences, and to join them together into one sentence, we have to use a semicolon:
• Jeff is tall; Bill is short.
We cannot use ONLY a comma, as this would create what's called a <em>comma splice. </em>(We could use a comma AND a conjunction like and or but, but not just a comma by itself.)
• WRONG: Jeff is tall, Bill is short • RIGHT: Jeff is tall, but Bill is short. • RIGHT: Jeff is tall, and Bill is short. • RIGHT: Jeff is tall; Bill is short.
<u>2. (Sometimes) to Separate Items in a List </u> The second way to use semicolons is to separate items in a list. Normally we just do this we commas, like this:
• There are three types of tree in the orchard: apple, fig, and pear.
But sometimes commas can cause confusion in a list, especially if some of the items within that list have commas of their own. For instance:
• Some of the world's most popular cities to visit are Paris, France, Rome, Italy, and London, England.
Here, it looks like my list contains six items (Paris AND France AND Rome AND Italy AND London AND England.) But really it contains only three items (Paris, France AND Rome, Italy AND London, England), and to clarify that fact I can use semicolons:
• Some of the world's most popular cities to visit are Paris, France; Rome, Italy; and London, England.
Here, it's clear that I mean to have three cities, and not six places, in my list.
The parallel between Victor Frankenstein's story and the story of Prometheus and Pandora lies in the fact that VICTOR CREATES LIFE IN THE MONSTER JUST AS PROMETHEUS AND PANDORA CREATED LIFE IN HUMANS.
The right option is C.
Explanation:
Frankenstein is a novel written by Mary Shelley. The main subject of the novel is Victor, a young scientist, a created a monster, which he can not control. The story of Frankenstein is usually linked to that of Prometheus and Pandora due to the fact that both stories has to do with creation of life and negative consequences that follow it.
In Greek mythology, Prometheus was a god, who stole fire from heaven and gave it to humanity. In order to punish his crime, Zeus, the king of the gods commanded another god (hephaestus) to make woman. The woman, Pandora was made and she became a source of great mystery to humanity.
The thing which a government does when it vows to achieve disarmament is to:
Be accountable
Show the destruction of weapons to the world
SIgn peace treaties.
<h3>Disarmament</h3>
This refers to the situation where a country decides to reduce, limit or eradicate its military weapons, usually nuclear weapons.
With this in mind, when a government says that it wants to achieve disarmament, then it would have to go through the process of disarmament which has to be transparent and open to all and also a legal contract would be signed.
