Explanation;
A semicolon is most commonly used to link (in a single sentence) two independent clauses that are closely related in thought.
When used to join two or more ideas (parts) in a sentence, those ideas are then given equal position or rank.
You cannot use a semicolon to list off objects, such as letter a and b.
You also can't use one in the middle of a sentence, like the third sentence.
Your question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
On the day Janet was scheduled to give her speech, her class was relocated into an auditorium. Janet couldn't quite overcome the feeling of isolation she felt as she spoke to her twenty classmates in a room that could seat 500. Which of the following elements is most responsible for Janet's reaction?
A) Feedback
B) Context
C) Information source
D) Channel
Answer:
The best answer is letter B) Context
Explanation:
The context of a speech involves several aspects, such as the place and time, the purpose, the traits of the audience, how big the audience and the place are, what types of technology will be used etc. From what was explained in the question, Janet's speech had a sudden change in context that impacted Janet negatively. She was prepared to speak to 20 people, quite an "intimate" audience. She probably rehearsed her speech having in mind a smaller room, maybe not even considering the use of a microphone. When she was asked to speak at a room that could seat 500, the whole context change. She felt isolated, surrounded by emptiness instead of the warmth of 20 people in a smaller room. She probably had to speak louder or use a microphone. The change in context was so big that it interfered with Janet's previous preparation and caused her to react negatively.

Answer:
Personification is used to show the power of the storm.
Explanation:
Personification and hyperbole are two types of figure of speech. The first one takes place when non-human objects like animals, elements of nature, emotions or things, are given human attributes, and hyperbole takes place when we use exaggerated words or phrases that are obviously false in order to emphasize or to add humor.
In the excerpt, the speaker is not talking in an exaggerated manner or using words that are obviously false because a storm can indeed continue for hours, thunders can be deafening, lightning can be strong...
However, the speaker does use personification because it describes lightning as something that takes the night from completely black to light as if lightning had the conscious will of holding with its hands something. Furthermore, the speaker uses personification to show the power of the storm: It was so mighty and powerful that it continued for hours, and had mighty thunders and lightnings.
