^all of those choices are nouns
D is the only one that is not a noun because it is describing something =(adjective)
<span>A) Here is what my mother said to me, at least once: "Jerry, you've got to try a little harder."
Since the quotation from his mother is set off from the rest of the sentence, not continuing it, a colon is appropriate. Additionally, the comma before "at least once" is correct and after "Jerry" is also correct. </span>
They valued family, I believe.
