Answer: The right answer is the C) "My grandmother made the following for Thanksgiving: turkey, stuffing, and potatoes."

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little bit on the answer, it can be added that colons are commonly used to introduce a list or a series, as in this example. The speaker is listing the dishes that his or her relative made for Thanksgiving, so a colon is placed preceding such list of items. The colon in options A and B are unnecessary, and the colon in option D should be replaced by a comma.

How does the author's word choice in Macbeth help develop the tone and convey the theme the author intended? Be sure you have me

marshall27 [118]

In Macbeth, strong words covey all of these thoughts to the reader. The tone for Macbeth's speech is immediately set after hearing of the death of Lady Macbeth. Having lost his queen, and seeing his hopes turn to ashes, the bitter Macbeth now comments on life in caustic words. this type of tone helps bring tension in the play, the strong words show power like the theme and the figurative language adds to this all. with all this dded up the tone comes out as storng and supports the story line.
