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 figurative language is baby your a firework
elena55 [62]

Answer:

Metaphor

Explanation:

A metaphor is comparing two dissimilar things without the usage of "like" or "as".

The phrase "baby you're a firework" compares you to a firework without the use of like or as, so therefore, it's a metaphor.
