The correct options are:
A) Jonas has homework. It isn't finished. and
D) Jonas has homework, it isn't finished.
Explanation:
In all the correct instance, the sentence is constructed such that there are still two independent clauses.
In A above, the clauses are clearly identified and so is the point of their separation.
The same is true for D.
In B, C, and E the sentences are no longer independent.
In F, the demarcation between two sentences by the semicolon is evident however the second half of the sentence is no longer dependent as it is missing the pronoun "it".
Cheers!
If this is the excerpt:
My dear Mr. President:
I was sitting in the audience at the Summit Meeting of Negro Leaders yesterday when you said we must have patience. On hearing you say this, I felt like standing up and saying, "Oh no! Not again."
I respectfully remind you sir, that we have been the most patient of all people. When you said we must have self-respect, I wondered how we could have self-respect and remain patient considering the treatment accorded us through the years.
17 million Negroes cannot do as you suggest and wait for the hearts of men to change. We want to enjoy now the rights that we feel we are entitled to as Americans. This we cannot do unless we pursue aggressively goals which all other Americans achieved over 150 years ago.

The literary techniques I recognize are the following:
1) amplification - adding more words to a simple sentence to make it more valuable and understandable.
2) hyperbole - exaggeration
3) dramatic visualization
4) Imagery
5) Pathos - use for emotional appeal.</span>
Answer:
The correct answer is: check the meaning.
Explanation:
When we see an unknown word in one text, the first thing we should do is check the meaning of the word in a dictionary. After that, we should memorize the word and try to use it in a certain context, in order to make sure we understood its meaning.
When we are predicting the meaning of the word, we can often make a mistake, because some words and their meanings can be quite unpredictable or illogical if someone doesn't know the etymology of the word or doesn't understand the scope of its use.
