In choice A, using a semicolon with a conjunction is redundant. Either can be used to link independent clauses, but you don't need both. Additionally, we don't have an independent clause after the semicolon because we don't have a verb.

B is pretty good.

Similar to A, C needs a verb in the second clause.

D uses a comma on its own to join two independent clauses.

E combines the two different ideas into one clause, which is illogical and awkward.

B

Hi kobel51,

This SC is based on Comparison rules (and by extension, Parallelism rules).

The sentence compares percents in 1973 to percents in 1984; we need to choose an answer that presents that information in parallel format.

The first part of the comparison uses the phrase "In 1973....represented.....21%", so we need the second part of the comparison to match.

Only the correct answer B presents the second part of the comparison in the same format.
