The purpose of the semicolon in the example is to join <span>two related independent clauses (option B)

In this case, the semicolon is used instead of a conjunction. They are generally related however, the second part might not be an explanation or clarification. 
the semicolon could have been replaced by BECAUSE perfectly well. 

- </span><span>Leticia has to leave early this afternoon because she has a doctor's appointment.</span>

I think the answer would be B, since both sentences in this one are both independent clauses, and the semicolon separates them.

sweet [91]

Explanation:

I think Rapunzel would have thought you to never take anything for granted. She had been stuck in the castle for a very long time. She always kept hope because of the lights. She was also very grateful for everything her "mother" gave her. She was never rude to her mother because she was so grateful for everything. Because of this, and her kindness to all, she was able to get home safely.
