Answer:
1. Genealogical research in Britain and Ireland is relatively easy; records are well kept and accessible.
2. I know exactly where to start my research: the library.
Explanation:
1. The semicolon is properly used in the right option to join two independent clauses closely related in meaning. In the first and last options, a semicolon is used where a colon would have been correct. In the third option, the adverb clause "if the records..." should be separated from the main sentence with a comma, not a semicolon.
2. In the right option, a colon is properly used to introduce a sentence or phrase that illustrates or complements the previous. Semicolons are wrongly used in the first and last options, needlessly setting off a complement, while in the third option, a semicolon (not a colon) should be used to join the two independent clauses.

The author is trying to engage the reader emotionally by describing these feelings and trying to explain their origin.
Answer:
"Arizona" is the adjective in the sentence.
Explanation:
Adjectives are those words that add to, modify or describe a noun in a more specified way. They give more meaning and description to the nouns or pronouns they are associated to. In the following sentence-
"In North America, I have photographed cactus plants from Mexico to Canada, and I think Arizona cacti are the most beautiful."
the writer is talking of the various cactus plants that he/she had photographed. And among those, he finds the Arizona cacti the most beautiful. By naming the cacti as a specific being, 'Arizona' is used as an adjective in this case as it gives the description of the particular cactus that the narrator finds most beautiful.
