Which sentence correctly uses the colon?

English
1 answer:
laila [671]2 years ago
6 0
The answer that correctly uses the colon is the last sentence. Normally a colon is meant to be used when it is showing a list of options, but the first and second sentence only have one sentence after that. A colon also can show reasons why a person does something, but for the third option, there's only one reason. In the last statement, the colon is used to break up the statement. It also shows that Harry has something in account for what he wants in his life. So, your answer option should be "D" 

Hope this helps!

Grammar problem, There were many animals in the barnyard. Chickens, pigs, sheep, and geese barnyard, chickens barnyard: chickens
Komok [63]

Answer:

Not correct. There were many animals in the barnyard: chickens, pigs, sheep, and geese.

Explanation:

The column after "barnyard" shows a series of items will be listed or follow. colons indicate or announce explanation or examples after an independent clause. Example, when we want to give examples or offer explanation after saying "It should happen this way:". The items that follow in this fashion will be written after a colon since they come after something like an announcement.
