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.
