Choose whether to use a colon or a semicolon in this sentence!
i'm not sure any lunch can beat we had the best pizza in the whole world.

This is a tricky question, especially because we are not offered a context for the sentences. But, in my interpretation, the best option would be a colon.

A semicolon connects independent sentences - it has other uses, this is just one of them. That means that, in this case, both sentences should present a complete meaning in themselves. One should not need the other to make sense. However, the first sentence, on its own, is a bit lacking, especially because we do not have an object completing the verb "beat" at the end.

A colon introduces a sentence that is explaining, adding meaning, to the one before it. That seems to be what happens in this case. Why would no lunch beat? Because we had the best pizza in the whole world. The meaning of the first sentence is now complete.

femininity is conveyed through bernice's personality. she doesn't act how the other girls act and everyone thinks she is weird. she learns how to act in a way that was considered femininely appropriate at the time. she becomes so popular but her attempts to be liked end up backfiring when she is pressured into bobbing her hair. the author wrote that bernice cut off her cousin's hair in revenge for tricking her to cut her hair. this was the authors way of trying to change the way feminine is defined and the way women are expected to act.

i've read it so how can i ?
