Which sentence uses a semicolon
correctly?
(Remember, a semicolon joins two
complete sentences.)
A. Gold and the power; of a woman's will had brought the
secret to the princess.
B. The youth would be disposed of; the king would be
pleased.
C. As the youth advanced into the arena he turned, as the
custom was; to bow to the king.

Respuesta :

C does because all others dont work

Answer:

B

Explanation:

If a semicolon joins two sentences, then first, you need to look for where the semicolon is, second, separate the two parts and then determine which ones are sentences.

In A, gold and power is a phrase, not a sentence but and the 2nd part is a sentence so that is incorrect.

In C, the first part is a sentence but "to bow to the king" isn't a sentence, therefore, that's incorrect.

"The youth would be disposed of" and "the king would be pleased" are two sentences, therefore, the answer is B.
