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.

Answer:
1. The tone being conveyed is a laudatory tone.
2. The poet achieved it by asking a rhetorical question and providing the answer.
Explanation:
1. The tone being conveyed in the last stanza of the poem was a laudatory one. This means that the poet was praising the boy Icarus for trying the boundaries of his intellect.
2. To achieve this, the poet asked a rhetorical question;
<em>Should it matter
</em>
<em>that neither shepherd nor farmer with his plow
</em>
<em>watched him fall?
</em>
He answered the question by saying that 'he now had the answer'. So, even though the boy eventually fell, he had explored the heights of his freedom and had satisfied his curiosity.
I'd say that the answer is B. Dee thinks her mother and Aunt Dicie oppressed her.
Hope this helped! Good luck! :)
