"After I had laid in the sun for two hours each day for two weeks, however; I was finished with the idea of looking like her." This statement:
has one error: a verb in the wrong form.
has two errors, a pronoun with no appropriate antecedent and a verb in the wrong form.
has one error, an inappropriate use of a semicolon.
*** has two errors, a verb in the wrong form and an inappropriate use of a semicolon.
has one error, a pronoun in the wrong case (in the subjective case instead of the objective).
Correct.
To determine the correct answer, we need to analyze the given statement. The statement is: "After I had laid in the sun for two hours each day for two weeks, however; I was finished with the idea of looking like her."
Let's break it down to identify any errors:
1. "After I had laid in the sun for two hours each day for two weeks" - This part of the sentence seems to be grammatically correct. It describes an action in the past.
2. "however;" - There is a semicolon after "however" which is incorrect. Semicolons are generally used to connect two independent clauses, but here it seems unnecessary.
3. "I was finished with the idea of looking like her" - The verb "was" should be in the past tense form "had been" because the action occurred before the previous action mentioned (laying in the sun).
Based on the analysis, we can conclude that there are two errors in the statement: (1) an inappropriate use of a semicolon after "however" and (2) a verb in the wrong form, "was" instead of "had been."
Therefore, the correct answer is: "has two errors, a verb in the wrong form and an inappropriate use of a semicolon."
