The first pair is the obvious answer since longer days mean that children can play outside later.

But any of those pairs of ideas -could- be related, based on the context. For instance . .

“We were afraid people would rather watch street performers for free than to pay to come to our play. So we got the city council to lower the voltage to the streetlights. After that the streetlights were dim, so our play was a success.”

a) The street lights were dim so the girls walked quickly to school.

b) The children could play outside later because the weather had changed.

c) We watched the news on television and the play was a success!

d) The house seemed deserted so the days became longer.

Hope this helps.

Option A. You could use a conjuction with that sentence as well, since you’re related to the same topic.

Ex 1. AS the days became longer, the children could play outside later.

Ex 2. The days became longer, AS A RESULT the children could play outside later.

Get it?

The other options are not aimed at the same topic.

A. The days became longer, the children could play outside later. OR: The days became longer, so the children could play outside later. OR: The days became longer and the children could play outside later.

I think it can only be A – the other pairs of sentences aren’t related in idea

The days became longer, so the children could play outside longer.
