a. there is no error in this sentence.
b. will mow
c. will, mow
d. mow the lawn; clean your room;?

Answer 1

This weekend you will: mow the lawn, clean your room, and read The Red Badge of Courage.

This sentence is written incorrectly because of the colon used between it. Colons only follow prepositions and verbs so adding it is not necessary.

The best choice is letter B. The commas make slight pauses through the list of things that will be done on the weekend.
