Sympathy
by Paul Dunbar

I know what the caged bird feels, alas!

When the sun is bright on the upland slopes;

When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass,

And the river flows like a stream of glass;

When the first bird sings and the first bud opes,

And the faint perfume from its chalice steals—

I know what the caged bird feels!

I know why the caged bird beats his wing

Till its blood is red on the cruel bars;

For he must fly back to his perch and cling

When he fain would be on the bough a-swing;

And a pain still throbs in the old, old scars

And they pulse again with a keener sting—

I know why he beats his wing!

I know why the caged bird sings, ah me,

When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore,—

When he beats his bars and he would be free;

It is not a carol of joy or glee,

But a prayer that he sends from his heart’s deep core,

But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings—

I know why the caged bird sings!

Why is the use of the semicolons to separate items correct in the following sentence?
For the trip, we brought along the following: a camp stove, a beast that had seen better days; a four-person
tent, which actually only slept two comfortably; a cast iron skillet, which weighed more than the tent; and a
spray can of mosquito repellent, which smelled bad enough to repel other humans as well.

1. The semicolons are correct because there are more than three items in the list.

2. The semicolons are wrong because commas are used to separate items in a list.

3. The semicolons are correct because the list is long and follows a colon.

4. The semicolons are correct because the items have commas within them.
