Answer: You can always predict who will die in genre movies. In animated movies, it will be the mother; in horror movies, the pretty girl; and in war movies, the fresh-faced farm boy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Semicolons are used to form lists!

For example: The Council is comprised of ten members: three from Sydney, Australia; four from Auckland, New Zealand; two from Suva, Fiji; and one from Honiara, Solomon Islands.

Semicolons are used to separate ideas, so in the second option, it wouldn't make sense to separate the genre of the movie from the person since it's still part of the same idea. Hope this helps :)
