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.

Why did holling think romeo and juliet was stupid wednesday wars?
Dafna1 [17]

In “The Wednesday Wars January-February,” Holling was not an admirer of the William Shakespeare play, _Romeo and Juliet_.   In fact, Holling thought the play _Romeo and Juliet_ was stupid, not because it was silly or because it did not make sense; rather, Holling thought the play was stupid because Romeo and Juliet died for love.

Read the sentence.

Participles are words that are formed from verbs but act as adjectives. They are called <em>verbals</em>.  What is more, phrases are a group of words without a subject and a verb that function as as single part of speech.  Therefore, participles consist of the participle and its complements and modifiers.

Taking all this into account, it can be said that the participial phrase is "trimmed that morning" and that it modifies the noun "grass".  This is a past participle which is further specified by the NP "that morning" which gives information about the time in which the grass was trimmed.
