Question

When should you use a colon to introduce a quotation?

a. when the quotation forms a complete sentence on its own
b. when the quotation needs the introduction to form a complete sentence
c. when the introduction forms a complete sentence on its own
d. when the quotation includes more than one subordinate clause

Answer 1

I believe it would be A because the quotation needs to at least have one sentence before you would have a colon to the introduction. The introduction has to be an independent clause to support the quotation in a way. Hope that helps!
