c)

add a comma after beginning

d)

add a colon after january

a)  No change is needed.

Explanation:

The sentence shows a sequence of actions, one happening after the other, and as so it requires no pauses. In other words, there is no need for a semicolon, a comma or a colon to be added to the sentence, as it is already complete and correctly punctuated the way it is. Moreover, the two verbs in it ("had" and "decided") have a single subject: "my sister", which means all that appears after the subject is part of the same predicate.

i had to go alone and i had to be self-contained, a kind of casual turtle carrying his house on his back.

with all this in mind i wrote to the head office of a great corporation which manufactures trucks.
