Answer:
B) A semicolon
Explanation:
A semicolon is a punctuation mark used to join two clauses together.. These clauses must be independent. These independent clauses are joined by a semicolon to form a complete sentence. On the other hand, a comma is used to separate clauses or objects in a sentence or phrase. A semicolon should not be used in place of a colon or comma. All three have their own duties. A colon is used when an emphasis is about to be made or when listing items. A hyphen is used to join two or more words but without spacing
An apostrophe is used when a word was omitted.

<span>The correct answer would be D. Answer C neglects any opposing viewpoints, and is more of a closing sentence for the opposing argument generated in Answer D. Although the answers A and B throw Proposition S into a negative light, they do not themselves generate an opposing argument. Rather, they are just quick statements supporting the argument presented in answer D. D most sufficiently represents an opposing viewpoint as it acknowledges the other side of the argument, presents a statement that opposes this acknowledged argument, and follows with multiple supporting statements to strengthen the reasoning for opposing Proposition S. The passage continues to support this statement with: These city governments would be required to pay for public services in areas where local politicians have failed to find a way to fund their own projects. Approximately $12.3 million dollars of tax revenue would be redirected toward county projects. Many programs at our new community center will have to be cut. (Answer A)
*This would affect more than 40,000 citizens of Northfield. The construction of Northfield Park would probably have to be put on hold. (Answer B)
The passage closes with. What is good for Northfield is good for all of Westport County. (Answer C)
As these are just supporting statements for the argument presented in Answer D, or closing the letter, they cannot be the main opposing viewpoint being addressed. Therefore, they would be incorrect.</span>
