Explanation:

Firstly, let's see if all the revised sentences make grammatical sense.

1. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze, and then they bought a pumpkin.

Sentence one is grammatically correct as it uses and to connect the two clauses.

2. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze; bought a pumpkin.

Sentence two is not grammatically correct as it has an unnecessary semi-colon with a dependent clause.

3. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze, they bought a pumpkin.

Sentence three does not use and to join the two clauses.

4. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze; and then they bought a pumpkin.

Sentence four like sentence two uses an unnecessary semi-colon that does not follow the semi-colon rule.

A semi colon should be used to join two independent clauses or to replace (and, or, but,etc)

Hope it isn't confusing, and it helped! :))

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
