A semicolon is most commonly used to link (in a single sentence) two independent clauses that are closely related in thought. When a semicolon is used to join two or more ideas (parts) in a sentence, those ideas are then given equal position or rank. Use the semicolon if you have two independent clauses <em>connected without a conjunction</em>. Also use the semicolon when you already have commas within a sentence for smaller separations, and you need the semicolon to show bigger separations.
The answer is (i.e. the answer with the misplaced adjective phrase) . . .
<em><u>A. Mr. Anderson made a table for his wife with three legs</u></em>.
This sentence makes it sound as if Mr. Anderson's wife has three legs, when in fact it is the table that has three legs.
Correctly written, it should look like this . . .
"Mr. Anderson made a table <em>with three legs</em> for his wife."
Rudolfo A. Anaya expresses that one of the greatest threats to old values is not paying attention to<em> los abuelitos</em> (the grandparents) because it is from them that we learn important life lessons and values. They have lived a long time, have experienced many things, and younger generations can benefit from their wisdom.
