Answer:

2. The voyage to Virginia was not easy; the immigrants traveled on small ships for many months.

Explanation:

The semi-colon is used to separate a complex list of things or elements in a sentence and also to join closely related independent clauses. They are not often used, as they can be replaced by the comma in most sentences.

In the given original sentence "The voyage to Virginia was not easy the immigrants traveled on small ships for many months", the best revision is to use the semicolon in between the two independent clauses. This will ensure that the sentences stay connected while still separating them.

Thus, the correct answer is option 2.
