Answer:

The sentence that uses the semicolon correctly is:

A. That plant will never make it; it hasn't been watered in months.

Explanation:

An independent clause has a subject and a predicate, and it is able to stand alone as a sentence because it conveys a complete thought.

A conjunction is a word used to connect different clauses in order to form one sentence.

<u>When we join two independent clauses without using a conjunction, we should use a semicolon. That is why the first option is correct. The first clause is "That plant will never make it." The second one is "It hasn't been watered in months." We could have created a relationship of subordination between the clauses by adding the conjunction "because" between them. But, since we did not, we must use a semicolon.</u>

That plant will never make it; it hasn't been watered in months.

We can eliminate option B because what comes after the semicolon is simply a fragment, not a clause. Letter C has a problem because the second clause is missing the subject. Thus, a semicolon makes it incorrect. It should be a comma instead.

How does the introduction of Minimus the poet support the author's purpose?
lara [203]

Answer: Here is the poem.

They had just finished singing it for the third time when Squealer, attended by two dogs, approached them with the air of having something important to say. He announced that, by a special decree of Comrade Napoleon, "Beasts of England" had been abolished. From now onwards it was forbidden to sing it. The animals were taken aback. "Why?" cried Muriel. "It's no longer needed, comrade," said Squealer stiffly. "'Beasts of England' was the song of the Rebellion. But the Rebellion is now completed. The execution of the traitors this afternoon was the final act. The enemy both external and internal has been defeated. In 'Beasts of England' we expressed our longing for a better society in days to come. But that society has now been established. Clearly this song has no longer any purpose." Frightened though they were, some of the animals might possibly have protested, but at this moment the sheep set up their usual bleating of "Four legs good, two legs bad," which went on for several minutes and put an end to the discussion. So "Beasts of England" was heard no more. In its place Minimus, the poet, had composed another song which began: Animal Farm, Animal Farm, Never through me shalt thou come to harm! and this was sung every Sunday morning after the hoisting of the flag. But somehow neither the words nor the tune ever seemed to the animals to come up to "Beasts of England

Minimus represents the producers of state-approved songs and slogans in Stalin's era.

Explanation:

The exercept was from "Animal farm"was an Utopian satire written by George Orwell and it was published in 1945. This was a fable based on Russian communistic system during g the Satllin regime and the betrayal of the cause of Joseph Satlin betrayal. The satire illustrate illustrate the way Stalinism had betrayed the ideals of the socialist revolution in the Soviet Union. The poet Minimus introduces a new song that is sung on Sunday mornings
