Choose the answer which best rewords the italicized portion. If you think the original wording is best, choose option A.

Men and women use separate communal bowls; often, women may sit together.

communal bowls; often,
communal bowls, often,
communal bowls; and often,
communal bowls very often

Explanation

Answer: A - The best choice is “communal bowls; often,”

Semicolons can separate two independent clauses - clauses that can stand alone as sentences - that are not joined by a coordinating conjunction. A comma is inappropriate to join the clauses. “Very” does not fit within the context of the sentence.

That time of year thou mayst in me beholdWhen yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hangUpon those boughs which shake against the cold,Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.In me thou see'st the twilight of such dayAs after sunset fadeth in the west;Which by and by black night doth take away,Death's second self, that seals up all in rest.In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire,That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,As the death-bed, whereon it must expire,Consum'd with that which it was nourish'd by.This thou perceiv'st, which makes thy love more strong,To love that well, which thou must leave ere long.What is a reasonable inference about this sonnet?
