Answer:

The word in the passage that should be followed by a colon is 'data'.

The word in the passage that should be followed by a semi-colon is 'Mars'.

Explanation:

A colon is commonly used to introduce a series of lists, things or statements and a semicolon is used to separate two or more independent clauses while showing a relationship among the clauses.

The word in the passage that should be followed by a colon is 'data'.

The word in the passage that should be followed by a semi-colon is 'Mars'.

The passage should be written in this way:
