This sentence employs parallel structure, and the semicolon trigger tells you that both blanks will go in the same direction; either of your two clues, fragmentation or failure, can be recycled into both blanks. Of the choices for the first blank, only dissolution makes sense; of the choices for the second blank, only sunset matches the clues, fragmentation and failure.
