Hey there!

For this problem, analyze each sentence you've been given:

"Assateague is a large island off the coast of Virginia; it is inhabited by wild ponies." When you use a semicolon, you are essentially combining two related whole sentences, not fragments, into one sentence. What would make the most sense is "Assateague is a large island off the coast of Virginia. It is inhabited by wild ponies." So, this answer is correct.

"Assateague is a large island off the coast of Virginia, it is inhabited by wild ponies." This is an example of a run-on sentences. Run-on sentences contain hard stops (longer pauses than a comma would usually indicate in a sentence) and don't contain any transitions, such as "and" or "or". Run-on sentences will never be the answer to these grammar problems (or any problem for that matter), so this answer is incorrect.

"Assateague is a large island off the coast of Virginia: it is inhabited by wild ponies." This is also an incorrect use of punctuation. You would not use a colon here since you're not listing anything off or stating a fact that is a result of your previous statement. Basically, what this sentence is currently indicating is that wild ponies inhabit it because it is a large island off of the coast of Virginia, which is probably not the reason why wild ponies live there. This answer is incorrect.

Your answer will be your first option.

Hope this helped you out! :-)

Answer from: Quest

agamemnon was the leader of the greek troops in the trojan wars and orestes was his son. when agamemnon returned from the war, he was murdered by his wife's lover in conjunction with his wife. orestes could not stop them but he seeked vengeance for his father. after a long time, he found them and avenged his father while killing them. he killed his mother, but greek mythology claims that his act was just and he was spared the remorse and the guilt. there are a lot of similarities with the ulysses/telemachus father son pair. ulysses was also one of the leaders of the excursion to troy. he still has not returned home, but in a sense the suitors of penelope are marring his estate and his reputation. while penelope is faithful to ulysses, the suitors by taking hold of the palace and committing their shameful acts are dishonoring ulysses. in the same context, telemachus is asked just like orestes to restitution his father's honor, regardless of whether he is alive or dead. athena is him and encouraging him with this example and he himself feels the need to save his father
