Question

Which sentence uses the colon correctly? Kelly was very excited: about the rock concert her friend won tickets for on the radio. She spent four days trying to put together the perfect outfit. In the end, she settled for something simple: a black tee, ripped jeans, and a headband. In contrast to Kelly: her friend, Maria was dressed rather flamboyantly. She wore shocking pink slacks with a silver tank top. All eyes were on: both the girls that night. NextReset

Answer 1

The correct answer would be alternative B) "She spent four days trying to put together the perfect outfit. In the end, she settled for something simple: a black tee, ripped jeans, and a headband."

According to the dictionary, the colon (:) is a punctuation mark used to start a list of items, a quotation or an explanation. In this case, it's used to start a list of items, describing the outfit chosen by the girl.

On the other alternatives, it took the place of other punctuation marks, and none of them were used to start any of the possibilities shown above.

Answer 2

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