Answer 1

Which one do you think it is? (:

Answer 2

Maybe C?

Answer 3

B and C appear identical
it's correct to use semicolons to separate list items that have commas within them.

Answer 4

no look closely at B

Answer 5

B and C aren't identical because on choice B it shows May; 16;
Which is incorrect.

Answer 6

you don't use semicolon when write the month,date and year.

Answer 7

Is it D then?

Answer 8

Well, despite the dispute, I believe the correct option is D because what @UH60blackhawk is correct, making A B and C incorrect. (:

Answer 9

Okay! Thanks so much for the help! :)

Answer 10

You're welcome! (:

Answer 11

Ooops. I missed the semicolon after 16 in B.
That leaves C. See rule about list items containing commas within them.
