Answered by Ms. Sue
A semicolon often separates two independent clauses.

is it b
Answered by Ms. Sue
No. "After a good dinner" is not an independent clause.

ohhhh is it c

An independent clause like Ms. Sue was talking about, means wherever the semicolon is, it is like a period, so the two sentences it would make, would have make sense as a sentence.
So:
a)Dinner. Is the most important part of my day.
b)After a good dinner. I like to have something sweet.
c)My favorite thing to eat. Is dessert.
d)I like ice cream. It is delicious.

The only answer that makes sense is D. The two phrases operate as independent clauses.
Does this make sense now?
