Question

Which sentence is punctuated correctly?

a) That's the other thing I learned: being active is just as important as eating better foods.
b) You know the feeling. It's minutes until the school bus comes, but you just rolled out of bed, threw on some clothes, barely brushed your teeth, and now you’re racing out the door to catch the bus.
c) Both sentences are punctuated correctly.
d) Neither sentence is punctuated correctly.

Answer 1

Both provided sentences are punctuated correctly, using a colon and a series of actions correctly, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence that is punctuated correctly is: "That's the other thing I learned: being active is just as important as eating better foods." This sentence uses the colon correctly to introduce a list or explanation. The other sentence provided also appears correctly punctuated, offering a series of actions in a sequence that depicts the rush typical before catching the school bus and does not require additional punctuation beyond what has been included. Therefore, the answer to the question is c) Both sentences are punctuated correctly.
