Answer 1

The correct sentence is option B, using a comma before the coordinating conjunction 'or' to connect two independent clauses.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct sentence that connects two independent but related ideas is option B:

Next year, we may return to the tradition of spending Christmas with our families, or maybe we will return to the snowy mountains of Colorado.

It is proper to use a comma before the coordinating conjunction 'or' when connecting two independent clauses.

Answer 2

Next year, we may return to the tradition of spending Christmas with our families, or maybe we will return to the snowy mountains of Colorado.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is B because there is proper usage of comma in the sentence.

A comma can be used to show a pause, separate clause in a complex sentence which it performs in the sentence above.

The answer is not A because a semicolon is used to link or join together two independent clauses that are closely relating in thought

*A clause is a group of words that contain a subject and a predicate.

The answer is not C either because there is an omission of the comma after 'families'.
