Question

In My Work as an Artist, the painter described her process “I clear my mind, gather my materials, and quiet my space.” After which word should a colon be placed? painter process described clear

Answer 1

process. I'm pretty sure.

Answer 2

Answer: B) process.

Step-by-step explanation: a colon is a punctuation mark that is used to mark a major division in a sentence, to indicate that what follows is an elaboration, summation, or implication of what precedes. In the given sentence the quote "I clear my mind, gather my materials, and quiet my space" is elaborating or explaining what the painter's process was, so it should be a colon after the word "process."
