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.

Answer:
Metaphor
Explanation:
Alliteration has same starting consonants. Ex. "Shelly sold seashells down by the seashore." Notice the majority of the word start with S.
Personification is humanizing something. Ex. "Lightning danced across the sky." Humans dance and here we are comparing the movement of lightning to the movement of dancing people.
Metaphors are comparisons of two things, non living.
"She has a heart of gold", its just a figure of speech because people cannot have hearts of gold, just like the the "it" cannot actually burn with topaz light because topaz does not actually have a light.
