Question

Which two sentences uses the colon correctly?

A-Henry slept through his alarm so: he didn’t make it to his first day of work, no matter how many times it went off.
B-Erica's morning routine consisted of waking up, brushing her teeth, meditating for ten minutes: eating breakfast, and finally bathing.
C-Jessica's supplies for the trip included these items: a hairbrush, moisturizer, a toothbrush, and four bottles of mineral water.
D-Annette left her hometown with just one goal in mind: to see the world and experience different cultures.
E-Joel was unable to attend the game because he had forgotten to complete his homework: he had wanted to attend the game with friends

Answer 1

C and D because A, B, and E don't make sense and don't match up

Answer 2

The answer to your question would be that the two sentences that use the colon correctly are the following ones: Jessica's supplies for the trip included these items: a haibrush, a moisturizer, a toothbrush, and four bottles of mineral water and Annette left her hometown with just one goal in mind: to see the world and experience different cultures. That is, the correct options would be C and D.

The colon is used to introduce a series of items, as shown in C. Moreover, the colon means "that is to say" or "here's what I mean". In D, the clause after the colon specifies the goal Annette has.
