Which one do you think it is?

OpenStudy (mizuki):

D

OpenStudy (sgt_sauris):

What makes you think that? Try reading it out loud and see if that helps.

OpenStudy (mizuki):

A

OpenStudy (sgt_sauris):

I think your actually right about it being d. A semicolon separates thoughts. Therefore it would make more sense for it to be d since the two parts of the sentence are such different thoughts. I am 89% sure your are correct about it being d. Good Luck! :D
