answered: friezaforceelite

Explanation:

Colons (:) are used in sentences to show that something is following, like a quotation, example, or list. Semicolons (;) are used to join two independent clauses, or two complete thoughts that could stand alone as complete sentences.

one thousand and one nights, also called the arabian nights is a collection of middle eastern tales compiled in arabic during the islamic golden age, dated from the 8th to the 14th century. this collection was compiled of largely middle eastern and indian stories with an uncertain date and autorship whose tales such as aladdin, ali baba and sinbad the sailor -these ones were the most popular ones, the ones that have almost become part of western folklore.

as in much medieval european literature, the stories contained in this collection are set within a frame story. its scene is central asia, as known as "the islands or peninsulae of india and china", where king shahryar kills his wife after discovering her infidelities and as well as any other who betrayed him. then, loathing all womankind, he marries and kills his new wife each day until no more candidates could have been found. his vizier had two daughters, scheherezade and dunyazad. the elder one -scheherezade- having devised a scheme to save herself and the others insisted that her father needed to give her in marriage to the king. each evening, she used to tell a story leaving it incomplete and promising to finish it the following night. the stories kept the king very interested, so eager to hear evey ending of each story, that he puts off her execution from day to day and finally he decided to give up with his plan. these stories are contained within the collection of 1001 nights, the bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is usually used for songs and riddles to express better the heightened emotion of them.

20 pts + brainliest for a answer the structure of a written work—the way a work is built using sentences, paragraphs, chapters, or sections—can an author develop and communicate ideas to the reader. how does the structure of paragraph 1 develop the ideas in roosevelt's first inaugural address? select each correct answer. by beginning with concrete examples and moving on to abstract ideas, the author readers understand the major points. by beginning the paragraph with references to himself and the audience, the author makes his ideas more approachable. by moving swiftly from topic to topic, the author emphasizes the importance of the nation's problems. by summing up the points that he will raise, the author creates a preview of the later paragraphs in the speech. by mixing shorter sentences among the long sentences, the author makes his ideas flow more smoothly and understandably.
