Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

C seems to be the correct answer because it uses a semicolon in the correct place, while B and D each use a colon in the incorrect places, and without a comma. A seems to use no punctuation at all, which makes it a run-on sentence.

Answer 2

C

Step-by-step explanation:

There should either be a comma and since none of them have a comma it should be the semi-colon to separate the sentence sections.
