Answer:
B The appointed day arrived; the king and his court were in their places.
Explanation:
A semicolon is used to join two independent clauses. These independent clauses may even function as complete sentences. The independent clauses must be closely related in thought. An independent clause refers to any group of words containing both a subject and a predicate.
Hence, looking at the sentence, The appointed day arrived; the king and his court were in their places.
"The appointed day arrived" as well as "the king and his court were in their places" are both independent clauses that are closely related in thought.
Hence, the correct use of the semicolon is in this sentence.

Answer:
Cause and effect.
Explanation:
Cause and effect can be defined as the relationship between two things or events in which an occurrence one (cause) leads to the occurrence of another (effect).
For example, an experiment can be used by scientists to show or demonstrate how a condition causes or gives rise to another i.e cause and effect, influence, behavior, etc in a sample.
In this scenario, Jedediah reads that every astronaut who has ever stepped foot on the moon has been a vegetarian. He looks at his wife and says, "I wonder why being a vegetarian increases one's likelihood of going to the moon!" Jedediah has arrived at an (incorrect) cause and effect conclusion.
Jedediah's cause and effect conclusion is completely or totally incorrect because there's no strong (valid) relationship between astronauts and being a vegetarian. Thus, you may be a vegetarian and not in the slightest of chance have interest in traveling to the moon.
