Answer 1

I was thinking B....

Answer 2

I would have to say, D. because semicolons separate (almost all the time) independent clauses. And, I think you could say 'There are other ways to have fun.' and 'You could go to the park.' alone, and still know what it means. =]

Answer 3

Let me look into it more, I could be wrong. XD

Answer 4

ok, what do you think its is @sammixboo?

Answer 5

Okay, so, my grammar book says: "Use a semicolon between the clauses of a compound sentence that are not joined by a conjunction (but, and, or)"

Answer 6

I believe it is D., because semicolons do separate phrases... If you use a comma you would have to rephrase the sentence... Like:
There are other ways to have fun, like going to the park.

Answer 7

Yes. What @Nibyssin said.

Answer 8

My book also says, "Use a semicolon only if the clauses are closely related." So, that would mean, it has to be a related thought. So... I agree what @sammixboo says. =]

Answer 9

ok thank you @Nibyssin & @sammixboo :)

Answer 10

You are welcome ;)
