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 hibernation; it can survive with two - thirds of its body water completely frozen. hibernation, and, it hibernation it hibernation; it

Explanation:

A semicolon (;) is used to separate two independent clauses that are closely related in thought. Here, "Rana sylvatica, a species of wood frog, endures harsh winters in a state of frozen hibernation" and "it can survive with two - thirds of its body water completely frozen" are two related independent clauses. Using a semicolon is the correct punctuation choice. The other options with "and," or without proper punctuation are incorrect in terms of grammar and sentence structure.

Answer:

hibernation; it
