A semicolon is used to connect two independent phrases, and the correct answer is D - the first independent phrase is "I have a bicycle" and the second one is "I'll be riding it later today"

Answer:

D: I have a bicycle; I'll be riding in later today.

a semicolon connects to phrases that go in succession or are related..

the first independent phrase is "I have a bicycle" and the second one is "I'll be riding it later today"

a thing i have noted is that if you can replace the semicolon ';' with the word 'anyways' and the phrase makes sense then the semicolon was correctly placed.
