Which two sentences uses the colon correctly?

English
2 answers:
Paul [167]3 years ago
7 0

The correct answers are C. Jessica's supplies for the trip included these items: a hairbrush, moisturizer, a toothbrush, and four bottles of mineral water and D. Annette left her hometown with just one goal in mind: to see the world and experience different cultures.

Explanation:

In grammar, the colon (:) is used either to introduce a set of items that belong to a list or to introduce an explanation or statement that is equivalent to one element of the first statement. Also, the colon should not be used to divide essential elements of sentences such as subject, verb, and object. This means, from the options given only options C and D show the correct use of the colon.

In the case of option C, this occurs as the colon introduces a set of items that belong to a list "a hairbrush, moisturizer, a toothbrush, and four bottles of mineral water" and explain Jessica's supplies and in the second sentence this occurs as the colon introduces an explanation that explains the section "one goal in mind" by stating this was "o see the world and experience different cultures".
