## Step 1The sentence is discussing Luci Tapahonso's book, which is a combination of fiction and memoir, poetry and another form of writing. The sentence is listing these forms of writing, so we need to use a punctuation mark that can separate items in a list.## Step 2The options A, B, and D use different punctuation marks: a semicolon, no punctuation, and a hyphen, respectively. However, these punctuation marks do not fit the context of the sentence.## Step 3The semicolon (option A) is used to connect two independent clauses that are closely related in thought. In this sentence, the two clauses are not independent; they are part of the same sentence.## Step 4The hyphen (option D) is used to join words together, not to separate items in a list.## Step 5Option B uses a comma, which is the correct punctuation mark to use when listing items in a sentence. The comma separates the items in the list and indicates that the sentence is continuing.
