English

Answer: C) Projects may be dropped off at the following locations: Room 16, Room 78, or Room 3.

Explanation: A colon is a punctuation mark usually used to introduce a list of elements or an explanation. A colon should never separate a verb from its object (like its happenning in option A, separating the verb "unloaded" from its objects "the canned food" "vegetables", etc), it also shouldn't be used to separate a preposition from its object (like in option B and D, separating "to" and "from" from their objects). So the correct answer is option C, where the colon is introducing a list of elements.

The sentence, "<span>Projects may be dropped off at the following locations: Room 16, Room 78, or Room 3." uses the colon correctly. 
The definition of Colon is, "</span><span>a punctuation mark (:) used to precede a list of items, a quotation, or an expansion or explanation." </span>

vodka [1.7K]
D, 19th century refers to 1800 and 20th to 1900 but it doesn’t include/contrast past music, so wrong. C doesn’t help you with past music. B could be of use, but the report is about 1920 big band music and not hip hop. And A would allow you to have the best information from a first person source along with their contracting ideas with today’s and the pasts music, so A is the right answer.

Answer:

Explanation:he theme of a story is what the author is trying to convey — in other words, the central idea of the story. Short stories often have just one theme, whereas novels usually have multiple themes. The theme of a story is woven all the way through the story, and the characters' actions, interactions, and motivations all reflect the story's theme.

But don't confuse theme with the story's plot or moral. The plot is simply what happens in the story and the order of the story's events, and the moral is the lesson that the writer wants the main character (and by extension, you) to learn from the story. Each of these serves the overall theme of the story. That is, the events of the story illustrate the theme, and the lesson that you learn relates directly to the theme.

So when you're trying to recognize the theme of a story, ask yourself what the author is trying to convey through the characters and events of the story. For instance, in The Catcher in the Rye, Holden Caulfield's actions are motivated by his not wanting to grow up, so one of the main themes of this novel is the preservation of innocence.
