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.

ACT I:
The Ghost and Bernardo, Francisco, Horatio - it's not exactly a conflict, but there is much tension between the armed Ghost and the present men, as they don't know who he is and what he wants from them.
Denmark and Norway - we learn from Horatio about this conflict. The old king Hamlet fought Fortinbras, the old king of Norway, and killed him. Now the young Fortinbras wants revenge.
Claudius and young Hamlet - even in the second scene, we see that Hamlet doesn't like his uncle and his marriage with Gertrude. Claudius even wants to send Hamlet away.
Gertrude and Hamlet - Hamlet still doesn't suspect that his father was murdered, but he still loathes his own mother because of the inappropriate marriage with her brother-in-law, only weeks after her husband's death.
Laertes and Polonius are suspicious toward Hamlet, as they fear he might use Ophelia and abandon her.
The Ghost and Hamlet - Hamlet goes to face the Ghost, not knowing if that is a spirit sent from Hell. It turns out to be his father. The Ghost reveals that Claudius murdered him, building up the tension between Hamlet and Claudius, as well as Hamlet and Gertrude. Hamlet now wants revenge.
ACT II
The conflict between Polonius and Hamlet is sharpening. Hamlet is acting strangely, so Polonius sends Ophelia to test him, while he is spying on them.
Hamlet's and Ophelia's relationship is affected by conflict as well. Polonius forbade Ophelia to be with Hamlet; the two still love each other, but Hamlet doesn't want to let his love distract him from pursuing the truth.
Hamlet is being sarcastic with Polonius and openly ridicules him.
Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern are also sent to Hamlet to test him. He sees through their intentions and openly despises them.
The answer seems to be answer choice c
