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.

POEM CONTAINING PERSONIFICATIONS!!!! HELP PLEASE!!!!
Reika [66]

Answer:

This poem is a great representation of personification because it makes winter seem human.

Winter by Olivia Kooker

If winter were a person, she would be a girl with frosty hair.

Winter would wear snow pants, snow boots, gloves, a hat, and scarf.

Winter would smell like hot chocolate and peanut butter and Hershey Kiss cookies baking in the oven.

Winter would spend the day eating cookies and drinking hot cocoa by a lake.

Winter would spend the night by sitting in the snow waiting for morning so children could come out to play.
