The sentence that uses a semicolon correctly is, "Everyone was looking at the ice sculpture as it melted; therefore, no one saw the table tip over." This sentence is an example of a compound sentence. A compound sentence consists of two independent clauses. The independent clauses here are, "Everyone was looking at the ice sculpture as it melted" and "therefore, no one saw the table tip over." We used the semicolon in this sentence to join two complete sentences. And take note that the word "therefore" is not a conjunction because it cannot connect two different sentences just like the words "and" and "but".

Answer:

Bell succeeded because he had more financial  resources than Meucci.

Explanation:

In the given passage, the narrator talks about how the idea of inventing the telephone came to be. Though two people have the same idea to make a working communicative machine, only one succeeded.

Antonio Meucci was working on his talking telegraph while Alexander Graham Bell was working on the telephone. While both men have the same idea, Meucci's did not work because of financial constraints, which Bell has, in the form of his father-in-law. This enabled Bell to succeed in further developing and eventually bringing forth the telephone.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
