In spring of 1846, Edgar Allan Poe (1809849) moved from New York City to his country cottage in Fordham where he wrote "The Philosophy of Composition," an essay that promises to recount the method he used to write his famous poem "The Raven" (1845). In the essay Poe challenges those who suggest that writing is a mysterious process prompted solely by the imagination. Although the it offers a number of precepts for good writing, at the end of the essay, Poe undercuts his step-by-step instructions by insisting that all writing should have an "under-current" of meaning. Because he never demonstrates how to create that "under-current," Poe's essay never completely reveals the process that makes his work so powerful.

Which sentence uses a colon correctly? Jade’s collection includes stamps from: Martinique, Burkina Faso, Iceland, and Australia.
wolverine [178]
The correct answer is - <span>Jade has unusual hobbies: stamp collecting, origami, folk dancing, and cake decorating. 
You use a colon when you want to make a list of things. However, this colon has to come naturally, without breaking the flow of the sentence. This is why sentences A, B, and D are incorrect, as the colon is just abruptly placed in the middle of the sentence, which is not the case in sentence C.
