The best way to combine the two independent sentences is "The dog was playful and energetic when they brought her home; they had to make sure she had all her shots and was housebroken." (option D)
<h3 /><h3>Combining independent sentences</h3>
An independent sentence is a group of words containing a subject and a predicate that is capable of expressing a complete thought. That means a complete sentence can be understood on its own.
When combining two independent sentences, we can do the following:
- Place a semicolon between the two sentences.
- Add a comma at the end of the first sentence and a coordinate conjunction at the beginning of the other.
With that in mind, we can eliminate option A because of the unnecessary semicolon in the second sentence. We can also eliminate option B, since it does not have any punctuation between the sentences, as well as C since it it does not place a comma before the conjunction "and".
With the information above in mind, we can select option D as the correct answer. It places a semicolon properly.

Ok, if you are writing a book. You would put the page number at the bottom of the page right in the middle. You would do this at every page but you would have a different number as you may know. For example you would write only 196 at the bottom. You would not write "This is page 196". If you would like you may be able to write (for example) 196 of 320. And you would add the authors name on the book cover and at the start of the book. You may also want to write something about the author at the end of your book. For example put the Date of birth, how many books he/she read, first book she/he wrote, and ECT. Hope i helped, Thanks<span />
