C. I can think of something better to​ do, such​ as: taking a walk or reading a book.

A colon does not belong after such as because it is a redundancy. Using the phrase such as is similar to using the phrase for example. They both indicate that a list is about to follow so the colon is not needed. Options A and B need a colon for the same reason. They both are used after a complete sentence and clarify the information in the sentence. Option D uses a colon correctly because it also comes after a complete sentence before the list of items that clarify what you should bring.

What kind of dreams is Mercutio describing, especially when he calls them "children of an idle brain
Sauron [17]
Mercutio agrees, saying that dreams “are the children of an idle brain” . Mercutio seems to be saying that dreams are like illusions meant to tempt men's souls but fall apart when he wakes. There is some pretty strong intensity here.
