Answer:

Twist.

Explanation:

The term <em>Extort </em>means to obtain something from an individual using coercion (force and threats).

This term takes its etymology on the root words <em>ex-</em>, which means "out", and <em>tor-</em>, which takes its origin from the verb in Latin, "torquere" (to twist). The word went from the original "extorquere" in Latin to the more widely used "extort" in the 16th century.

Select the sentence that has the correct semicolon and/or colon punctuation. Question 1 options: Along my road trip I visited; R
Neporo4naja [7]

Thye correct answer is the following: Along my road trip I visited Rochester, Minnesota; Des Moines, Iowa; Lincoln, Nebraska; and Jefferson City, Missouri.

Semicolons are used within a sentence when it presents commas for smaller separations of nouns and you need a bigger separations to be represented. In this case, the speaker is listing the cities they visited and what states those cities belong to. Each city is correctly separated from its state by means of a comma, and each noun phrase (city plus state) is therefore separated from eachother by a semicolon.
