The colon after "including" should be removed because "The introductory text in the sentence cannot stand alone"

<h3>What is a colon?</h3>

A colon is a punctuation mark (:) that is used to precede a list, quotation, or explanation.

The colon itself defines a list and hence the words like including are not necessary. Also, the sentence "I need to stop at several places, including: the bank, the grocery store, and the dry cleaners" consists of an introductory phrase hence the word including shall be removed since the introductory phrase cannot stand alone.

Therefore the correct option is b.

madreJ [45]

I believe the answer is:B.“We cannot do this,” he said. “Rangi and Papa are our parents. They have created us, made us who we are.”

From the line above, the writer shown that Maori really perceive their parents in a really high regard. They felt that the parents are the people that they would always be indebted to for giving life to them. Which is why is taboo for them to do things without the blessing of their parents.

Read the last stanza of Robert Frost’s poem “The Road Not Taken.” Why is it significant that the two roads diverged?
dexar [7]

Answer:

A. The speaker is recalling, "with a sigh," how difficult it had been for him to choose the more traveled or the less traveled of the two roads. The forked road is a metaphor for the inherent duality in the natural world.

Explanation:

In this poem, the author talks about life through a metaphor. He describes life as a walk through the forest, in which a person has to decide what path he or she wants to take. The author reflects on the difficulty of making that choice. He also realizes that his life turned out to be a certain way because he chose a certain path. The two paths represent the possible choices people can make in life, and the impact that these have in determining their future.
