When should I use a period instead of a semicolon?

When the SAT gives you both answers in the choices, chances are good that neither of them are the correct answer.

A work of great scholarship by the Icelandic lawspeaker Snorri Sturluson, the Prose Edda was written in the 13th century and offers a compelling introduction to old Norse mythology. Q. Here, "...13th century and offers..." why there won't be a comma before "and"?

You can see on the tips and strategies of this section. Top tip: Lists of two don't need commas. So you don't really need a comma between lists of two.
