The correct option is C. An overture is an instrumental piece that typically introduces an opera. For instance, Beethoven and Mendelssohn used overtures in the Romantic Era before their pieces were performed.
Overture in music was originally the instrumental introduction to a ballet, opera, or oratorio in the 17th century. During the early Romantic era, some composers, including Beethoven and Mendelssohn composed overtures which were independent, self-existing instrumental, programmatic works that presaged genres such as the symphonic poem.

B) A semicolon
Explanation:
A semicolon is a punctuation mark used to join two clauses together.. These clauses must be independent. These independent clauses are joined by a semicolon to form a complete sentence. On the other hand, a comma is used to separate clauses or objects in a sentence or phrase. A semicolon should not be used in place of a colon or comma. All three have their own duties. A colon is used when an emphasis is about to be made or when listing items. A hyphen is used to join two or more words but without spacing
An apostrophe is used when a word was omitted.
Answer:
semicolon
Explanation:
From the question, the most appropriate punctuation to use is the semicolon as shown below

John Paul Jones was a sailor. The predicate noun in this sentence is sailor.
The predicate noun, also known as a predicate nominative, is a noun or pronoun that follows a linking verb (in this case, "was") and renames or identifies the subject. In this sentence, "John Paul Jones" is the subject, and "sailor" is the predicate noun that identifies his occupation.
John Paul Jones, born in 1747, was a historical figure known for his contributions as a naval commander during the American Revolutionary War. Serving in the Continental Navy, he achieved fame for his naval victories and is often considered one of the founding fathers of the United States Navy.
Beyond his role as a sailor, Jones became a symbol of naval prowess and patriotism, contributing to the early development and reputation of the American naval forces. His legacy as a skilled and daring naval officer extends well beyond the predicate noun in this sentence, encompassing a rich history of naval achievements and national service.
Answer:
Sailor
Explanation:
I assume that the first question is related to the novel "The importance of being Ernest" by Oscar Wilde. This novel tells the story of Jack Worthing a pilar of the community in Hertfordshire and guardian of Cecil Cardew who´s grand father, Thomas Cardew, adopted Jack whe he was a baby. Jack is a model of man with his behaviour toward the community but for years he has pretended to have an irresponsable brother known by the name of Earnest who lead a scandalous life in London. Ernest is an alibi created by Jack that allows him to dissapear for some days and do whatever he likes.
He is in love of Gwendolen Fairfax, cousin of his best friend Algernon Moncrief. They both know Jack as Ernest but Algernon suspect he is carrying a double life because he had found an inscription on Ernest´s cigarette case adressed to "Uncle Jack". At the beggining of the play Jack drops in Algernon´s house to announce his intention to propose to Gwendolen and his friend confront him with the cigarette case making Jack confess. He tells his entire story about his fictional brother Ernest and assure him that he was considering to "kill" him.
When Gwendolen and her mother, Lady Bracknell, arrived Jack propose and discover that she returns his affection but she still believes that his name is Earnest and is fixated with that name because it inspired absolut confidence. Lady Bracknell interview Jack to determine if he would be a good son-in-law but when she find out that he was adopted and did not knew her parents she forbids the match between with her daughter.
Jack´s besti friend Algernon had fallen in love of Cecil after he heard the story told by Jack when he confessed and want to propose to her after Lady Bracknell interviewed her and find out she was really rich. But Jack as his ward did not allow that unless Bracknell consent him to marry with Gwendolen.
Neverthelesss Lady Bracknell refused and went to asked for permission to Cecily´s governess Miss Prism who she realized had stolen her sister´s baby 28 years before who happens to be Jack. That revelation transformed him into Gwendolen´s cousin and the older brother of his best friend Algernon and removes all obstacle between his union with Gwendolen.
For the second question I believe the correct answers are: B) They deliberately ignored the suffering of the parish children, and D) They wanted to give the impression that they were performing their work
Apparently, all the parish officials wanted was to preserve the appearance that everything was right, while keeping up with their corrupted practice of conceiving the problems and malpractice. Their duty was to make sure that the children were cared for, but they refused to do it, fully aware of the consequences.
