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 are used to separate items in a list when the items themselves contain commas, which helps to avoid confusion. In this case, each city is followed by a state, creating additional commas that necessitate the use of semicolons for clarity.
