Question

Which sentence uses the colon correctly? A.Kelly was very excited: about the rock concert her friend won tickets for on the radio. B.In the end, she settled for something simple: a black tee, ripped jeans, and a headband. C.In contrast to Kelly: her friend, Maria was dressed rather flamboyantly. D.All eyes were on: both the girls that night.

Answer 1

In the end, she settled for something simple: a black tee, ripped jeans, and a headband.

Answer 2

Only "B.In the end, she settled for something simple: a black tee, ripped jeans, and a headband" uses a colon correctly because it is making a list of things, while the other sentences are simply interrupting the prose.
