Replace the comma between limited and specifically with a semicolon.
Replace the comma after century with a semicolon.

Answer 1

B: Replace the comma between limited and specifically with a semicolon.

Step-by-step explanation:

We should replace the comma with a semicolon between the words limited and specifically because there are two independent clauses with thoughts related to each other; in this case, we cannot use a comma. Also, the word specifically is an adverb indicating some link to the first clause, but without a coordinating conjunction and therefore, a semicolon is necessary.
