"she tried to force her thoughts back into some semblance of order",what does "some semblance of order" mean?
Does it mean "somewhat of order"?
I'll appreciate and be very grateful if you paraphrase the sentence for me.
BTW, "she pulled into the path of a semi",Was she driving a truck pulling a semi, or just dragging a semi???what is a semi? what's the difference among semi,trailer,semitrailer and tractor-trailer?

@FrugalMommy
may I ask you another question?
"in the semiformal atmosphere irritations can be aired", what is this sentence talking about?"can be aired" means can be expressed?
If it means "can be expressed", then, what is the sentence trying to suggest? I can hardly imagine a scene with "irritations" being expressed help me.

@dennislv You already asked this question in a separate discussion. It's best to stick to one topic in each discussion or, at least, not to ask the same question twice!
If it means 'can be expressed', then, what is the sentence trying to suggest? I can hardly imagine a scene with 'irritations' being expressed help me.
