Look at the spaces indicated in the sentences below. Where would it be appropriate to put a colon (:)? A.The trip was exciting[]
and Jeremiah hoped the adventure would last forever. B.Growing along the edge of the ravine[] there were bluebonnets, buttercups, and Indian paintbrush. C.When Dayna attended formal events, she wore her mother's pearls[] They always made her feel beautiful. D.Every time you leave the hotel in a foreign country[] you must take your passport with you.
The answer to your question would be option B!. <u>Growing along the edge of the ravine: there were bluebonnets, buttercups, and Indian paintbrush.</u>
Explanation:
Option B is the right answer because the sentence is giving us a list of the plants growing next to the ravine. Colons are usually used for lists, so in this case, option B is the one that needs a colon.
