The correct answer is C) The two girls' shoes were left out in the rain; of course, they got muddy and wet.

Explanation:

Semicolons (;) are common punctuation mak use to link independent sentences, elements in a list, and also before transition such as however, therefore or in addition . On the other hand, apostrophes (') are used to express possessions usually by adding an apostrophe followed by an s in case of nouns that do not end in -s or only the apostrophe if the noun already ends in -s.

This implies, in the case presented the correct sentence is "The two girls' shoes were left out in the rain; of course, they got muddy and wet" because in this case the semicolon has been placed before "of course" that works as a transition, also the word "of" has not been capitalized and a comma has been placed after it which is considered as correct. On the other hand, the apostrophe is correctly used in "girls' shoes" because as "girls" end in "s" only the apostrophe needs to be added at the end of the word.

Answer:

C. No capitals must be used after semi-colons. Also a noun ending with an 's' should not uses another 's' after an apostrophe. So it cannot be: The two girls's. It can only be: The two girls'

Answer:

I like that the film version tells the story better for Jim Valentine because in the film we can get a better idea of what the characters look like. The film version gives us something that we can’t experience in a book like emotions and facial expressions. For example, when the character is in a sad scene you can’t see how they react in a book but the film, you can see how they react. Also the picture of the setting we can hear how the music goes. With the play, the lighting will get darker and in the emotional scenes and get brighter and a happy scene. The scenes are best portrayed in the film. In the text, you can't hear their tone or you can’t see the setting or the characteristics of the character. In conclusion, the film version is better at telling the story of Jim Valentine because it gives us a better picture of the story.
