Only use colons after statements that are complete sentences. Don't use it after a sentence fragment. It may be used between independent clauses when the second sentence explains the first sentence.
Ex: He has three favorite movie genres: action, comedy, and drama.

Thanks for the tree

between me & a sniper’s bullet.

I don’t know what made the grass

sway seconds before the Viet Cong

raised his soundless rifle.

Some voice always followed,

telling me which foot

to put down first.

Thanks for deflecting the ricochet

against that anarchy of dusk.

I was back in San Francisco

wrapped up in a woman’s wild colors,

causing some dark bird’s love call

to be shattered by daylight

when my hands reached up

& pulled a branch away

from my face. Thanks

for the vague white flower

that pointed to the gleaming metal

reflecting how it is to be broken

like mist over the grass,

as we played some deadly

game for blind gods.

What made me spot the monarch

writhing on a single thread

tied to a farmer’s gate,

holding the day together

like an unfingered guitar string,

is beyond me. Maybe the hills

grew weary & leaned a little in the heat.

Again, thanks for the dud

hand grenade tossed at my feet

outside Chu Lai. I’m still

falling through its silence.

I don’t know why the intrepid

sun touched the bayonet,

but I know that something

stood among those lost trees

& moved only when I moved.

Sir Walter Raleigh.

Explanation:

Sir Walter Raleigh, the popular poet, soldier, courtier, politician, spy, as well as discoverer, is widely acknowledged for his exploration of the first English settlement present in North America. After several attempts, he finally selected Roanoke as the possible first-ever English settlement present in North America due to the reason that the relative distance of Roanoke which was established by Ralph Lane from the territories set up by Spanish promoted safe and secure travel surroundings for the privateers. Therefore, '<u>Sir Walter Raleigh'</u> is the answer.

The animals' habitat was in the direct path of the forest fire.
Ivahew [28]
<span>Assuming the underlined part of the sentence is the word animals', the correct answer is A. noun phrase. It the center of the phrase, or rather, the most important part of a phrase, is a noun, such as in this case, then the whole phrase is called a noun phrase. It can function as a subject, object, or take some other functions in a sentence.</span>
