Explanation:

1. For the first question:

• Option 1 uses "Its" (possessive pronoun) incorrectly instead of the contraction "It's" (It is). It also uses a comma splice between two independent clauses.
• Option 2 uses the correct "It's" and properly separates the two related independent clauses with a semicolon.
• Option 3 misuses "nor": "nor" is used to join negative clauses, which does not fit this context.
• Option 4 uses the incorrect possessive "Its" instead of "It's".

1. For the second question:

• Option 1 uses the incorrect homophone "there" instead of the possessive adjective "their".
• Option 2 uses the correct possessive "their" and properly joins the two independent clauses with a comma and coordinating conjunction "and".
• Option 3 is a run-on sentence with no punctuation between the two independent clauses.
• Option 4 uses the incorrect verb form "done" instead of the simple past tense "did".

Answer:

1. Correct sentence: It's raining outside; I need an umbrella.
2. Grammatically correct sentence: The teacher gave the students their assignment, and they did it well.
