Answer 1

I don't really get semicolons

Answer 2

b doesnt feel right to me

semicolon is a period and a comma .... id have to google to see if memory serves, but i think that means we have a complete sentence to the left, and an add on to the right.

Answer 3

a looks right ot me don't you think

Answer 4
