b. Older animals are usually surly and ill-tempered; accordingly it is unwise to attempt to pet a grown raccoon.
c. Raccoons are smart; otters on the other hand; are even smarter.
d. If you go to the store; please pick up milk, bread, and eggs.
B. Older animals are usually surly and ill-tempered.- That can be a sentence in itself as well as the second part. Accordingly it is unwise to attempt to pet a grown raccoon. All the semicolon is doing is combining two sentences to make them one.
