Which detail best characterizes the narrator in the excerpt?
excerpt from A Journey to the Center of the Earth
by Jules Verne
But my uncle was not a man to be kept waiting so adjourning therefore all minor questions, I presented myself before him.
He was a very learned man. Now most persons in this category supply themselves with information, as peddlers do with goods, for the benefit of
others, and lay up stores in order to diffuse them abroad for the benefit of society in general. Not so my excellent uncle. Professor Hardwigg he
studied, he consumed the midnight oil, he pored over heavy tomes, and digested huge quartos and folios in order to keep the knowledge acquired
to himself.
There was a reason, and it may be regarded as a good one, why my uncle objected to display his learning more than was absolutely necessary; he
stammered; and when intent upon explaining the phenomena of the heavens, was apt to find himself at fault, and allude in such a vague way to
sun, moon, and stars that few were able to comprehend his meaning. To tell the honest truth, when the right word would not come, it was
generally replaced by a very powerful adjective.
As I said, my uncle, Professor Hardwigg, was a very learned man; and I now add a most kind relative. I was bound to him by the double ties of
affection and interest. I took deep interest in all his doings, and hoped some day to be almost as learned myself. It was a rare thing for me to be
absent from his lectures. Like him, I preferred mineralogy to all the other sciences. My anxiety was to gain real knowledge of the earth. Geology
and mineralogy were to us the sole objects of life, and in connection with these studies many a fair specimen of stone, chalk, or metal did we break
with our hammers.

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.
