b. poles, the
c. poles; the
d. poles and the

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Letter C because the second sentence is a complete sentence and if you're adding the ";" then you don't need an and after it. 
Answer 2
Answer:

Answer: C. Compasses do not work at the magnetic poles; the magnetic field at these poles is vertical.

Explanation: The second sentence adds information that explains what is stated in the first sentence, therefore it is ideal to combine them with a semicolon. Combining them with "and" would defeat the purpose of having the second sentence explain the first, and combining them with a comma would be grammatically wrong since commas cannot coordinate independent clauses.

What dreams we have and how they fly
LIKE ROSY CLOUDS ACROSS THE SKY;
Of wealth, of fame, of sure success,
Of love that comes to cheer and bless;
And how they whither, how they fade,
The waning wealth, the jilting jade—
The fame that for a moment gleams,
Then flies forever,—dreams, ah—dreams!

Answer: A. Simile.

In the given stanza from the poem "Dreams" by Paul Laurence Dunbar the line "Like rosy clouds across the sky" is an example of a simile that compares dreams with rosy clouds.
