The correct answer is B. Complete sentence

Explanation:

In grammar, the use of the colon (:) is common to introduce a list of items, an explanation, and even a quotation. However, in all of these cases, the colon can only be used if the sentence or clause before the colon is complete or expresses a complete idea and contains at least a subject and a verb. This is a rule because the colon as any other punctuation mark represents a break in writing and by placing it in an incomplete or dependent clause, essential elements of the sentence would be broken or divided which is not recommended or correct. Therefore, to use a colon to introduce a quotation you must have a complete sentence before the quotation.

She usually (read) English.​
Yuki888 [10]

Answer: reads

Explanation:

For this sentence, the best correction would be one that continue the present indefinite tone of the word "usually". When a person is said to "usually do something," it means that they will continue to do said things or do it often.

It is therefore best that the verb following it will be in a present indefinite tense. The present indefinite tense for "read" is "reads". Sentence therefore becomes:

"She usually <u>reads</u> the newspaper".

It means that he has abided by certain mores for his whole life and by using the literal example of “pulling a thorn”, he’s saying, “there’s not one person who i haven’t helped, that’s what makes us brothers. When they need me i help them, and when i need them they help me.” It is interesting because he’s explaining that just because it’s not normal for you doesn’t mean it’s not my version of normal.
