<u> B) It had been a most unpleasant coincidence that the power outage had come when we had guests staying over; the entire house was full.</u>

This is the correct answer because the semicolon is carrying out its function here: to join two independent clauses that are related to each other.

A, C and D are wrong because they all have conjunction following the semicolon: "and" and "so". And semicolons aren't used with conjunctions, as for they both perform the same function: to link two independent clauses. So when trying to connect two independent clauses, we can either use a semicolon or conjunction, not both at the same time.

He reads over this text, and realizes that he has written in a way that does not reflect how he actually felt at the time. This shows that Nick is trying to recall past events. It also shows that Nick is trying to be accurate, as he takes a moment to clarify what his feelings were actually like at the time.
