D. Updating the line of reasoning in the final paragraph to acknowledge Gallup's contrasting perspective and respond to it

E. Expanding on the description of the cleaner wrasse's penchant for eating parasites off other fish.

Naia's family has several New Year's Eve traditions, exchanging gifts, cleaning the house, and watching The Irony of Fate
shutvik [7]

Answer:

D. Change the semicolon to a colon.

Explanation:

The colon is a punctuation mark that is not used much. But it helps in listing items. It is used majorly when the sentence contains or introduces a list that is important for the sentence.

In the given sentence, <em>"exchanging gifts, cleaning the house, and watching The Irony of Fate" </em>are the list of things that comprise Naia's family's New Year's Eve tradition. Therefore, they will be introduced by a colon instead of a semicolon.

Thus, the final sentence will become-

<em><u>Naia's family has several New Year's Eve traditions; exchanging gifts, cleaning the house, and watching The Irony of Fate</u></em>.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
