Colons are not used to introduce lists.
Colons denote "that is to say" or
"here's what I mean."
They make sentences’ first parts not important
rather the sentence’s second part contains the important information.
Here are
some of the rules you could use for colons:
*Colons are uses upon introducing items.
*Do not use capital letters after a colon except if
it’s a proper noun.
*Do not use colons after a verb or preposition.
*For independent clauses, especially when the second
sentence explains the paragraph’s meaning, the use of colon is preferred.
*After a colon: capitalize the first letter of the
first word if it is a complete quotation.

Answer:
<em>The sentences </em>A: <em> While she was studying, her dog began to lick her elbow. </em>and<em> </em>D:<em> Without a doubt, she was the fastest in her heat.</em>
Explanation:
The senteces A and D are correct because both begin with a <em>subordinate</em> clause, therefore they have <em>commas</em> to <em>separate them from the main clauses</em>. The sentence B is wrong because it is <em>not necessary</em> the use of the <em>comma</em>, since it started with the main clause. and in the sentence C, the transitional word <em>however</em>, doesn't have another statement to contrast with.

Incomplete question. However, here's the clearly written/completed question;
The dates listed in the works cited page indicate:
a. important years in Mandela’s life.
eventful years in the author’s life.
b. years in which the sources were published.
c. years in which the student conducted research.
Answer:
<u>b. years in which the sources were published.</u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Remember, this is a <em><u>biography</u></em> written by someone to explain the life story of another, in this case Nelson Mandela.
Therefore, inorder for the information to be verifiable, it is quite important that the years in which the sources of the information that led to the published work on Mandela's life be mentioned.
