I believe the colons should be placed as follows:
1. One thought kept crossing Jen's mind as Friday approached:
2. included the following: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
3. cultures:
on the first sentence you are separating her thought from the statement
on the second, you are separating a list from the statement
on the third, you are separating the two different types of cultures from the statement.
I really hope these are correct for you :) good luck!
I saw Sienna sprinting down the final stretch in long, graceful strides. The cheetah chased her prey, which, in this case, was a first-place ribbon.
Obviously Sienna is running and being compared to a cheetah, she was running swiftly.
That leaves us with either Choice B or Choice D.
The dialogue states that Sienna was "sprinting" or rather, "chasing" her pray "which, in this case, was a first-place ribbon."
Sienna was not racing against a fast animal -- the text was saying that she was <em>as fast </em>as an animal. Therefore, Choice B is incorrect.
That leaves us with Choice D, the correct answer. Sienna ran swiftly with the purpose of winning the first-place ribbon.
