Answer:

I'm pretty sure the punctuation error is in the third sentence;

<em>'This struggle plays out chiefly through the protagonist; Charlie, who anchors the film brilliantly.'</em>

Just after the word 'protagonist', the author uses a semi-colon (;). A semi-colon is used to link two separate clauses that have similar ideas together. It turns two clauses into one.

In this situation, the semi-colon is not doing that, because that would imply that if we were to separate the "two clauses", it would look like this:

<em>"This struggle plays out chiefly through the protagonist. Charlie, who anchors the film brilliantly." </em>

This wouldn't make sense. Instead of a semi-colon, the author should've used a comma!

Which sentence is an example of two independent clauses being linked by a semicolon and a
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

a. He has found success in many fields, including finance, information technology, and  the culinary arts; but with the publication of his new book, Delacorte can add best-selling  author to his long list of accomplishments.

Explanation:

A clause is a group of words that has a subject and a verb.

An independent clause is a type of clause that has a complete meaning or thought.

A conjunction is a word used to link clauses.E.g However, But, If, etc.

From the options available, the sentence that has two independent clauses that are linked with a semicolon and coordinating conjunction is Option A because the two independent clauses have a complete thought if they stand alone.

"I moved like a sleepwalker" (Weisel 87) (the novel Night)
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

In my opinion, sleepwalker is much alike to daydreaming.

Explanation:

Your mind is somewhere else but your presence is in a place you do not know you're still in. In life, we are sometimes sleepwalkers; not literally walking while asleep, but continuously going with the flow of life without knowing the purpose why you are still striving to live everyday. And I think it's normal, it happens to everyone. Maybe time will come you'll also realize your purpose.
