Answer:

B The appointed day arrived; the king and his court were in their places.

Explanation:

A semicolon is used to join two independent clauses. These independent clauses may even function as complete sentences. The independent clauses must be closely related in thought. An independent clause refers to any group of words containing both a subject and a predicate.

Hence, looking at the sentence, The appointed day arrived; the king and his court were in their places.

"The appointed day arrived" as well as "the king and his court were in their places" are both independent clauses that are closely related in thought.

Hence, the correct use of the semicolon is in this sentence.

How might you rewrite sentences 3 and 4 as one sentence containing an appositive<br> phrase?
bija089 [108]

Answer:

The state music contest, a competition that happens once a year, had arrived.

Explanation:

I have been able to rewrite sentences 3 and 4 as one sentence containing an appositive phrase.

An appositive phrase refers to a noun or a noun phrase that actually renames the noun next to it. The appositive phrase goes ahead to explain and give more meaning to the noun next to it.

In the above sentence, "<em>a competition that happens once a year</em>" is the appositive phrase that explains or renames "<em>The state music contest</em>".

The purpose it actually serves is to give more information about the noun.

B: Set the mood for the scene that follows.
The author is obviously trying to set something up to happen here, most likely the entrance of another character and/or some dialogue. It would't make sense for there to bee any foreshadowing with such a warm atmosphere, and the author is describing the setting, not the characters.
