Answer 1

The list that requires semicolons instead of commas is:

**Sacramento, California; Denver, Colorado; Phoenix, Arizona; and Santa Fe, New Mexico.**

This is because the items in the list include both the city and the state, which creates complexity that necessitates the use of semicolons for clarity.
