Given that in Latin, the word septem means seven, the word septentriones will tell us that seven stars make up the Big Dipper. 
And if you know anything about the Big Dipper, you will know that it is true - there are seven stars in this asterism. These seven stars are Dubhe, Merak, Phecda, Megrez, Alioth, Mizar, and Alkaid, and they are part of the constellation Ursa Major.

What is the meaning of the word stimulated in this sentence?
lakkis [162]
I would say B. It inspired him to do it by the looks of things so A wouldn't make sense. C doesn't either. I don't think excited would make sense in the sentence, so B would make the most sense. Hope that helps.

Identify the sentence that uses a colon correctly.
Alja [10]

The sentence that uses a colon correctly is:

  • Rose and her friends played: Bridge, Canasta, Poker, and Rummy

<h3>What is the correct use of the colon?</h3>

When writers wish to introduce a list, a proper symbol they can use is the colon. In the sentence above, the purpose of the colon can be seen clearly. Here we can see a list of the names of four kinds of games Rose and her friends engaged in.

A reader can thus see the names of the games and identify them with ease. There are other uses of the colon. The colon can be used in headlines to differentiate different parts of the sentence.

The colon can also be used in dialogues between two or more persons. Another use of the colon is that of emphasizing the main point.

For the text provided above, option A accurately describes a function of the colon.
