Self-reflexivity is a literary device that consists in making the author's manner of composition the main focus of attention. While the writer tells a story, he/she also tells the readers about the choices made and the organization and structure of the text. This literary device allows the readers to be inside the writer's mind; however, sometimes the writer does not always tell the truth. In that way, it is necessary for the reader to be able to distinguish what is real from what is not. In this two sentences from "Lost in the Funhouse", John Barth refers to literary strategies and choices.

1. Genealogical research in Britain and Ireland is relatively easy; records are well kept and accessible.
2. I know exactly where to start my research: the library.

1. The semicolon is properly used in the right option to join two independent clauses closely related in meaning. In the first and last options, a semicolon is used where a colon would have been correct. In the third option, the adverb clause "if the records..." should be separated from the main sentence with a comma, not a semicolon.
2. In the right option, a colon is properly used to introduce a sentence or phrase that illustrates or complements the previous. Semicolons are wrongly used in the first and last options, needlessly setting off a complement, while in the third option, a semicolon (not a colon) should be used to join the two independent clauses.
