The park was closed; therefore, we decided to play soccer in my backyard instead.
Answer:
The correct answer is - The park was closed; therefore, we decided to play soccer in my backyard instead.
Explanation:
Let’s go through the process of elimination to get to the correct option.
A) Is not correct because the conjunction BUT requires a comma, not a semicolon.
B) Is not correct because the semicolon here doesn’t make sense because of the order of words in the sentence. If the sentence said: I had gone for a long run during the day; however, my legs were not tired - then the semicolon would be correct.
C) Is not correct because the semicolon should come before the word STILL, not after it.
D) Is the correct answer as the semicolon is properly used to separate two independent sentences.

The second one is nearly right. But the question mentioned "academic vocabulary", and being is less appropriate than identity.
The third one is correct. It has the same meaning and while it replaces words, it creates no new words of its own.

Read the following excerpt from "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker: "The truth is," I said, "I promised to give them quilts to Maggie, for when she marries John Thomas." She gasped like a bee had stung her. "Maggie can't appreciate these quilts!" she said. "She'd probably be backward enough to put them to everyday use." "I reckon she would," I said. "God knows I been saving 'em for long enough with nobody using 'em. I hope she will!" I didn't want to bring up how I had offered Dee (Wangero) a quilt when she went away to college. Then she had told they were old-fashioned, out of style. Based on this excerpt, which description most likely describes the significance of the story's title?
Answer:
A. People connect with their culture by continually revisiting past traditions.
Explanation:
Alice Walker's Everyday Use revolves around the lives of the three women, mother-daughters, and their perception about what constitutes heritage, tradition, culture, and one's identity. Mama and Maggie may life in a dilapidated house but their sense of identity to their roots remains unbroken whereas the 'better educated' daughter Dee "Wangero" is more of a 'westernized' approach to her identity.
In the given passage, Dee hates the fact that her desired quilts were given to her sister Maggie who will only "put them to everyday use" whereas her own plan was to put them up like some souvenir and put in on display and not use it. The narrator Mama recollects the time when she had offered those same quilts to her when she first went to college but she had called them "old-fashioned, out of style" and refused to take them. And now that she's had a place of her own, she wanted to 'show-off' her heritage and tradition and use it as a way to 'decorate' her house. So, judging by the way the author decided to portray the characters to their relationship with the quilt, the book's title Everyday Use seemed likely to signify how people connect and feel connected with their culture through the frequent revisiting of past traditions.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
Answer:
A. People connect with their culture by continually revisiting past traditions.

A dave and i like sundays because we can watch football

C the old wooden bed creaked when the child sat on it.
D kyle wasn't surprised when he saw the bus waiting at he club.
Answer: B the police officers arrested the suspected and put it in jail.

In A: "Dave and I like Sundays because WE can watch football" is correct, because the pronoun "we" is referring to the compund subject Dave and I.
The alternative C is incorrect because the pronoun IT is not appropriately attributed to "the suspected". The correct pronoun would be he or she.

And says a wizard told him that by G His issue disinherited should be; And, for my name of George begins with G, It follows in his thought that I am he. These, as I learn, and such like toys as these Have moved his highness to commit me no

Therefore, A is the correct choice as it describes how the word "pedometer" came to be, originating from the Latin word meaning foot.

Arush took baby steps to school. He was returning after a month of staying at the hospital, and he had strangely missed everyone—even the sternest of teachers. For Arush, anything was more fun than those white walls and the hard bed at the hospital. He was torn between the feelings of excitement and anxiety. On one hand, Arush was all better now; on the other hand, he had gained a lot of weight because of a long bed rest. He felt like an expansive balloon held to the ground by two fragile strands of threads. The doctors had told him he would be back in shape after exercising and eating better, but he was worried about how his friends would look at him. He had taken half an hour for a 10-minute walk because of his hesitation. Finally, he had arrived. There was no going back. He had seen the crowd. Arush saw the banner, the balloons, and the party hats. His friends had prepared for a celebration to mark his return. The crowd swarmed at him with the speed of bees whose hive had been stoned. They took turns asking him how he felt and saying that he was missed terribly. Nobody mentioned his weight gain or looked at him differently. His friends were genuinely happy to have him back. Gradually, Arush felt comfortable in his own skin. His feet felt more firmly on the ground. The negative ideas he had about himself shattered like pieces of broken glass. His mind was now a mirror that reflected things more clearly. He was indeed back. The author uses the phrase "shattered like pieces of broken glass" to show that A: Arush feels that he misses the stern teachers. B: the negative ideas have lost their grip on Arush. C: Arush understands the eagerness of the crowd. D: what Arush is thinking hurts his friends' feelings.
Answer:
B: the negative ideas have lost their grip on Arush.
Explanation:
He has realised people are happy to have him back, and his negative thoughts 'shattered'.
Answer:
B. the negative ideas have lost their grip on Arush
