8 0

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.

bixtya [17]

Answer:

The sentence that best reflects the theme in this book concerns lying.

Explanation:

The sentence that best reflects the theme in the piece <<The Piece of String>> by Guy the Maupassant is:"What grieved me," said he, "was not the thing itself, do you understand, but it was being accused of lying. Nothing does you so much harm as being in disgrace for lying."

The main character lived and died while people continued thinking he was guilty, even there existed a proof he wasn’t. It is always easier to believe in something bad in a man than in good, it is in humane nature.
