Answer 1

The list that requires semicolons instead of commas is:

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

This is necessary because the items in the list contain commas (the city and state), which can lead to confusion if only commas are used. Semicolons help to clearly separate the main items in the list.
