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.
