I feel as if this quote means that if you don’t approach and talk about your problems,slowly but surely they’ll eat away at you until there’s nothing let.
D. Visibly
It's the only one spelled correctly.
The correct answer is "I can't believe he has <em>swum </em>to the island." Swum is the past principle of "swim." However, if you drop the word <em>has </em>the answer would be D and the sentence would appear much more grammatically appealing. :)
The correct answer is: [B]: "semicolon" .

Choice: [A]: "comma" — is INCORRECT. Note that placing a "comma" would result in an error known as "comma splice".

Choice: [C]: "period" — is INCORRECT. Note that placing a "period" would be incorrect. Doing so would result in a new sentence that does not begin with a capital letter.
____________________________________________________________
Choice: [D]: "no punctuation is needed" —is INCORRECT. Note that if the statement were left alone, the statement would be a "<u>run-on sentence</u>".

The correct answer is: [B]: "semicolon". If a new sentence could be formed; and if the ideas could connect; it is acceptable to place a "semicolon" between the "two potential statements to form one statement" ; and to NOT CAPITALIZE the first word of the "second [potential sentence]" —<u>unless</u> that "[second potential sentence] begins with a proper pronoun.
