I believe that the best answer for this question is an adjectival prepositional phrase because it describes a noun. It modifies the words "a pygmy hippo," which is the subject of the sentence and therefore a noun. Adjectival prepositional phrases modify nouns, while adverbial prepositional phrases modify verbs, adverbs, or adjectives. Hope this helps.
Answer:
B. Arundel High School is on Annapolis Road in Gambrills, Maryland; it is home to the Wildcats.
Explanation:
Choice A lacks a<em> verb </em>to connect the thought and <em>"high school" </em>is not capitalized here. It should be capitalized because its name is part of a school.
Choice C<em> didn't use the semicolon properly. </em>This punctuation is used when you are trying <em>to separate two independent clauses</em>. The second clause, <em>"home to the Wildcats"</em> is a dependent clause.
Choice D didn't use the conjunction "and" properly. When you're connecting two independent clauses with a conjunction, you should put a "comma" before the conjunction.
<u>It is only Choice B that is grammatically correct</u>. It made use of the semicolon properly. It connected two statements in order to prevent pause and to make it readable.
