You've made some good adjustments, but there are still a few corrections needed for proper punctuation and grammatical accuracy. Here's a revised version with the necessary changes:

Corrected Version:

This summer; a popular sandwich shop called Mark's Deli will be opening downtown. The deli will offer free tastings of their most popular sandwiches on Friday, May 10; Saturday, May 11; and Sunday, May 12. The samples will include mouth-watering bites of the Veggie Deluxe; a wrap with roasted vegetables and hummus; the Italian Combo; a selection of Italian meats and cheeses on a roll; and the famous B.L.T.; made with bacon, lettuce, and tomato on toasted rye bread. Mark's Deli already has several other locations; including Boston, Massachusetts; Brooklyn, New York; and Portland, Maine.

Corrections Made:

1. Changed "tasting" to "tastings" for grammatical accuracy.
2. Removed the unnecessary comma after "Sunday" in "Sunday; May 12."
3. Changed "toasted vegetables" to "roasted vegetables."
4. Added a semicolon after "B.L.T." for consistency.
5. Changed "location" to "locations."
6. Added a semicolon after "locations" for accuracy and clarity.

Make sure to pay attention to commas in a list to ensure they are used correctly, especially when it comes to coordinating different phrases.

Answer 5

Apologies for any confusion in my earlier response. Let's clarify the correct use of semicolons in your paragraph. Here’s an analysis of where semicolons are needed and where you used them correctly:

Your Paragraph with Comments on Semicolons:

1. "This summer, a popular sandwich shop called Mark's Deli will be opening downtown."

   • No semicolon needed here; this is a complete sentence.

2. "The deli will offer free tasting of their most popular sandwiches on Friday, May 10; Saturday, May 11; and Sunday; May 12."

   • Correction: "Sunday; May 12" should be "Sunday, May 12." A comma is appropriate here because it’s a continuation of a list.

3. "The samples will include mouth-watering bites of the Veggie Deluxe, a wrap with toasted vegetables and hummus; the Italian Combo, a selection of Italian meats and cheeses on a roll; and the famous B.L.T, made with bacon, lettuce and tomato on toasted rye bread."

   • Corrections:
     • "the Veggie Deluxe, a wrap with toasted vegetables and hummus;" – should use a semicolon because it's introducing a distinct item in a list.
     • Needs a semicolon before "the Italian Combo."
     • "B.L.T, made with bacon, lettuce and tomato" should have a period after "B.L.T." and a comma before "and" in "lettuce, and tomato" in a similar context.

4. "Mark's Deli already has several other location including Boston, Massachusetts; Brooklyn, New York; and Portland, Maine."

   • Correction: "location" should be "locations."
   • You correctly used semicolons between the city and state pairs, but you need a semicolon before "including," to separate the clauses correctly.

Revised Version with Correct Semicolon Usage:

Here’s the corrected version with appropriate semicolon placements highlighted:

This summer; a popular sandwich shop called Mark's Deli will be opening downtown. The deli will offer free tastings of their most popular sandwiches on Friday, May 10; Saturday, May 11; and Sunday, May 12. The samples will include mouth-watering bites of the Veggie Deluxe; a wrap with roasted vegetables and hummus; the Italian Combo; a selection of Italian meats and cheeses on a roll; and the famous B.L.T.; made with bacon, lettuce, and tomato on toasted rye bread. Mark's Deli already has several other locations; including Boston, Massachusetts; Brooklyn, New York; and Portland, Maine.

Summary:

You were on the right track with your use of semicolons, but some corrections were necessary for proper punctuation. I hope this clears up the semicolon usage!
