Answer 1

Well, we can eliminate two right away..
The second to last can be eliminated because it has no punctuation to introduce.
The last one can be eliminated because we don't have enough to make two complete sentences, therefore, we can't use a semicolon.

Which one do you think it is? ^.^

Answer 2

Ted Kennedy had a nickname, “the Lion of the Senate.”, btw love your name, howd you come up with it? :D

Answer 3

Close, but commas are used to add a pause, which does make sense in this sentence because you would pause, but since we're listing the nickname, we'd use a colon.
(Remember: Colons are used when listing things.)
