Here are the answers of the given questions above:
18. The sentence that contains an error in colon usage is option C. Brandon wanted to go fishing: but I wanted to go sailing. In this sentence, it should be a comma and not a colon.
19. An example of an indirect quotation would be option D. The lawyer said that your case will not take long. Indirect quotations no longer need quotation marks.
There should be a period after writing it should look like this : " writing. She can"
the sentence also says "through her words" when after "words" , there should also be a period.
Other than the missing periods your sentence seems fine.
You could also use a comma after "writing" instead of a period and make the S in "She" a lower case.
I hope this helps you.
