<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.

How did the sons of liberty influence the events that led to the American Revolution
frez [133]
The sons of liberty were just colonists who didn't like the unfair taxation that the British imposed on them. You've probably heard of the Boston tea party, right? Well, the Sons of Liberty were responsible for that. You’ve also probably heard of Benedict Arnold, Samuel Adams and Paul Revere. All of them were members at one time. Without the Sons of Liberty, American colonists would've never stood up to the British, and America would still be a colony
