Brielle Calderon · Answer 1

The correct answer is number two, they are two sentences that could stand alone but are joined by a semicolon.

Mauricio · Answer 2

It's choice number one because a comma shouldn't be used after Mary and Bill so the last two are wrong. Choice number two has a semicolon and we don't use that in this sentence.
