Felicia loved the animation style known as anime; she grew up watching animated series from all over the world. Chris chose to walk; instead of riding to school as his bike was broken. these are the answers

Rylee88:

Yes, I know. But do you know what you think the correct answer is?

SmokeyBrown:

Remember that semicolons ";" can connect two statements that would stand on their own as separate sentences, the same as a comma and conjunction like ",and" or ",but" would. So, just like you might combine "I ate a pizza" and "I ate a burger" as "I ate a pizza, and I ate a burger", you could use a semicolon to say "I ate a pizza; I ate a burger". That might give you some idea of which choices use the semicolon appropriately

Ultima18:

I would say the same thing. Those two sentences use the semicolon to connect two statements which could stand on their own as separate sentences. The other answer choices do not work, so I think you have the right answers.

Ultima18:

I think you are correct because personally, I think it is the best option between the rest of them!
