Question

Which sentence correctly uses a colon? I edited the article and found: comma splices, sentence fragments, and misplaced modifiers. Anna was happy: to go skiing with her sister. Talia decided that: she would accept admission into New York University over Harvard University. I made just one request for the camping trip: I wanted to stay in a cabin instead of a tent. This is what they told me: Because the apartment was too small, and cold for them.

Answer 1

I made just one request for the camping trip: I wanted to stay in a cabin instead of a tent.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this sentence, a colon is used to separate two independent clauses because the second clause is directly related to the first one. It explains the request mentioned in the first clause.

Answer 2

the correct answer is I made just one request for the camping trip: I wanted to stay in a cabin instead of a tent.

this is correct because you could put a period where the colon is.
