Answer:

The first and third is correct. The second and last are incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can mostly tell in these kinds of things just by saying them out loud. And also see how good they are if you replace the colons with commas. If you say it aloud, the correct colon ones will have a bigger pause where the incorrect is shorter. The last one is tricky.

Simplified - Colons are used to introduce a second sentence clarifying the first.

BTW, you aren't aloud to post test questions on here, just sayin'.
