Answer:

Option 2:

As the wind blew gently toward the deer, I thought the opportunity good for testing the truth of hunters' accounts of the animal's wonderful keenness of scent; I stood quite still and waited to see if he would notice me. As the deer continued to feed tranquilly, only casting round his head occasionally to drive away the flies, I began to think his nose was no better than my own. Suddenly, as if pierced by a bullet, he sprang up into the air and galloped confusedly without turning to look; however, in a few seconds, as if doubtful of the direction of the danger, he came bounding back, caught a glimpse of me, and ran off a second time in a settled direction.

Explanation:

In general, semicolons are used 1. to link two independent clauses in a single sentence in order to indicate that the ideas are closely related and that are equally important, 2. to link two independent clauses that are also connected by conjunctive adverbs or transitional phrases such as moreover, nevertheless, however, otherwise, therefore, then, finally, likewise, and consequently, and 3. between items in a list or series if any of the items contain commas.

The text of option number 2 is the correct option because it uses semicolons to join two independent clauses that are closely related (Independent clauses are a group of words that express a complete thought on its own). Here are the excerpts of the text that uses semicolons:

As the wind blew gently toward the deer, I thought the opportunity good for testing the truth of hunters' accounts of the animal's wonderful keenness of scent; I stood quite still and waited to see if he would notice me.

Suddenly, as if pierced by a bullet, he sprang up into the air and galloped confusedly without turning to look; however, in a few seconds, as if doubtful of the direction of the danger, he came bounding back, caught a glimpse of me, and ran off a second time in a settled direction.

The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:

Option 1 uses semicolons in the middle of an independent clause when there should be a comma instead:

I stood quite still; and waited to see if he would notice me. As the deer continued to feed tranquilly, only casting round his head occasionally to drive away the flies; I began to think his nose was no better than my own.

Option 3 uses semicolons instead of a comma after "however", and again it uses a semicolon between an independent clause when only a comma is needed:

however;

he came bounding back, caught a glimpse of me; and ran off a second time in a settled direction.

Option 4 also uses a semicolon to divide an independent clause:

As the deer continued to feed tranquilly; only casting round his head occasionally to drive away the flies, I began to think his nose was no better than my own.

Which of these is an argument against the production of genetically engineered food

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

D. Genetically engineered food is unnatural and possibly dangerous to eat

Explanation:

One of the biggest arguments about the genetically engineered food is that it is not natural food and it can be dangerous to eat. It is still hard to evaluate the effect of the majority of the GMO's as they have been introduced very recently. There are some GMO's that have proven to be very damaging though, like the GMO soy for example. It has been proved that this soy actually manages to reduce the amount of testosterone in the men, and that it is the main cause why the testosterone in the men in the Western world has dropped as much as 50% in the past few decades. The women have increased levels of anxiety, aggression, and depression because of the GMO soy. So taken this in consideration it doesn't seem that it is a good choice to consume this type fo foods.

How long does it take for lactic acid to build up in your thighs

madam [21]

Lactic acid is produced during anaerobic respiration, which is a form of cellular respiration in which oxygen is not present. Lactic acid is produced when you exercise, and it causes your muscles to become tired. It depends how long until you feel the effects of lactic acid, but getting oxygen to your muscles can slow the build-up. Hope this helps! :)

Why were elders from each lineage

Triss [41]

Answer:

In stateless societies, the elderly of each lineage were responsible for resolving disputes between lineages or individuals through practices in which the entire community was involved. Meetings were held in which both sides exposed their positions and perceptions of the conflict situation in front of the entire community.

Taking into account the knowledge that the experience gives, the elderly have legitimacy to make judgments of the events that have occurred and it is through consensus that it is established what will be done. There is a tendency for people to adhere to the positions of the elderly because they are considered wise and relevant.
