Question

which is the best way to complete the text? rana sylvatica, a species of wood frog, endures harsh winters in a state of frozen ____________ can survive with two - thirds of its body water completely frozen. hibernation; it hibernation, and, it hibernation it

Explanation:

The first option "hibernation; it" is correct. A semicolon is used to separate two independent clauses that are closely related in meaning. Here, "Rana sylvatica, a species of wood frog, endures harsh winters in a state of frozen hibernation" is one independent - clause and "it can survive with two - thirds of its body water completely frozen" is another. The other options have incorrect punctuation or word - order. The second option has an unnecessary comma after "and", and the third option has no punctuation between the two related ideas.

Answer:

hibernation; it
