Answer 1

In the 4th like after the resources

Answer 2

Answer :

Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'comma' as 'a mark (,) used in writing to separate parts of a sentence showing a slight pause, or to separate the various single items in a list.'

Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'semicolon' as 'a mark (;) used in writing for separating large or important independent parts of a sentence or items in a list.'

The comma should be changed to a semicolon in the following sentence :

We spilled our vegetable seeds, now we have petunias growing in our beets.

So, the correct sentence will be :

We spilled our vegetable seeds; now we have petunias growing in our beets.
