Answer:
D.
Explanation:
The passage compared and contrasted the forest to his personal life. (I think)
B. 160
Ground pork should always be cooked at 160 degrees Fahrenheit
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.
It depends on what your goal is.
A maverick is an unorthodox individual who lives fairly independently.
The negative connotation associated with being a maverick is that you don't get along with groups but are usually fairly successful.
So, if you are okay being independent and unorthodox, great. If you are bothered by the connotation that you don't get along well with groups, then you likely are not okay with it.
