"Usher rose from a sofa on which he had been lying at full length, and greeted me with a vivacious warmth which had much in it"
In this line, Usher's behavior of rising from the sofa to greet the narrator is a sign of friendly hospitality even though it seems as he rarely gets up from the sofa. Also, the narrator describes his greeting as vivacious. Vivacious means full of life and energy. This is in complete contrast to what we learn about Roderick Usher.While Usher is glad his friend has come, he is not full of life or energy.
Answer: A. Outer ugliness is not an indicator of inner ugliness
Explanation: This is the answer because B. is a fact, C. is also a fact, and D. is just a quote.
Both sentences A and B are capitalized correctly:
Only one solution is possible: We must cut our expenses.
Only one solution is possible: we must cut our expenses.
The first word of both sentences (only) must always be capitalized since it is placed at the beginning.
On the other hand, if the sentence following the colon is dependent (it is incomplete), its first word should not be capitalized. For example:
"I have to buy three things: apples, oranges and bananas."
Regarding capitalization in independent clauses following a colon (such as the one given in the example), it is subject to the citation style the writer is following (APA, MLA, etc). While some styles recommend capitalization of the first word of the sentence, some others do not.
