Do you have a screen shot of the poem?
"He is often clumsy; on the other hand, he dances beautifully"
This one is the correct answer for a couple reasons:
One, the first one cannot be correct because the comma is used incorrectly. A comma can connect an independent clause (one that could be its own sentence) to a dependent clause (one that could not be its own sentence). The first part is an independent clause because it has a subject, 'He', and a predicate 'is'. The second part is also independent, so a comma cannot connect them.
Two, the third one is incorrect because the phrase 'on the other hand' is a prepositional phrase, so a comma <u>must</u> follow it.
Three, the second sentence is correct because the first section is an independent clause, and the second section is an independent clause as well. A semicolon can only connect two independent clauses. The comma is in the correct placement because it is after the prepositional phrase that I mentioned earlier.
I hope I helped, and good luck with your work!

Answer:
B. It shows that even though Parker's Familym gave Toby a home, Toby now protects parkers life.
Explanation: A is completely irrelevant as it doesn't mention anywhere in the text that having a pet is an "Important" part of childhood! C. doesn't make complete sense because they didn't mention any comparison between dogs from the pet shops and rescue dogs (In terms of Friendliness and cuteness) In The story, It never compares Toby's life in the shelter with his new life at all! The story Is about how a smart dog helped a kid named parker by teaching itself what to do when Parker has a seizure or any affect of Epilepsy, such as sitting on parker so he doesn't get up or getting the others to help! I have read this text from Newsela, My class covered it 1-2 weeks ago! I hope this helps :D
