A student wrote a paragraph that contains errors in punctuation. Which TWO words should be followed by a colon?

Oliver had a very busy day. First, he woke up early and ventured downstairs to make himself some food. He had a full breakfast, eggs, pancakes, and orange juice. After he ate, Oliver read the paper to find activities happening around town. He found a festival that looked fun, so he went to find his friend to accompany him. When he found her, he knew just what to say to convince her to go "Anna, I will buy you ice cream at the end of the day if you come with me."

A. First
B. breakfast
C. fun
D. go
E. Anna

Answer:

B. and D.

Step-by-step explanation:

After breakfast because it's ending the independent clause that could be a sentence on its own, and connecting it with a dependent clause that relates to that. Same thing with go.
