The answers are 2 and 3.

 Sentence 2: One of the uses of the colon is to introduce an item or a series of items. These items, <em>after the colon</em>, are written with <em>lower case.</em> "Thats the other thing I leaned<em>: being active</em>..."

Sentence 3.  If a quotation contains <em>two or more sentences</em>, we use a <em>colon</em>.  The two i<em>ndependent clauses</em> in the quotation <em>are connected by a semicolon.</em>

Answer:

2. That's the other thing I learned: being active is just as important as eating better foods.

3. Over the years, many of us have read the words of Henry B. Adams: “A teacher affects eternity; she can never tell where her influence stops.”

Explanation:

Colons can introduce an item or a series of items when it is preceded by a complete thought like in <u>option 2</u>, where the semicolon introduces an idea and is preceded by “That's the other thing I learned,” which is a clause expressing a complete thought.

Colons are also used to introduce quotations, such as in <u>option 3</u>, where it introduces the quote “A teacher affects eternity; she can never tell where her influence stops.”

The other punctuation found in option 3 are also correctly placed: commas are to be placed after Introductory Phrases like “Over the years,” quotation marks are used to enclose quotes like “A teacher affects eternity; she can never tell where her influence stops;” semicolons link two independent clauses closely related but that are not linked with a conjunction, such as it links the two clauses within the quote and lastly, the period is also correctly placed because when a quotation ends a sentence, the period is placed before the final quotation mark.

I believe that your correct answer would be "This sentence shows Elion's determination and commitment to learn."

The reason why I say this is because Elion wanted to be a "biochemistry". But she could not because of her requirement's are not that great. She took many classes and so on and still could not qualify.She needed to learn to have determination.she didn't earn a doctorate so the 1st sentence is false,

she didn't get denied going to any schools so the 3rd one is also false.

she earned her degree at the first college so the 4th one is also false.

the correct answer should be:

This sentence shows Elion's determination and commitment to learn.
