Answer 3

A. house

Answer 4

It is definetly not ''must'' because the sentence is being continued where the word must appears. If you read the sentence the is a slight pause between ''house'' and ''that''
So then the semicolon has to be after the word ''house and before the word ''that''

So,the answer should be C house.
