A, since it joins two related sentences with a semi-colon and has a comma after 'on the other hand'

I believe this one is A also

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because it joins two related sentences and has a comma after 'otherwise' which makes it correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why would it be B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would be A because the ; between 'She always shuts the gate; otherwise,' which connects the two sentences and makes a pause and then it has a comma 'otherwise, the pig follows her out' is correct
