Answer 1

The list of places that requires semicolons instead of commas is:

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

Semicolons should be used to separate items in a list when the items themselves contain commas. In this case, each location includes a city and its corresponding state, which necessitates the use of semicolons for clarity.
