Which word in the sentence, if any, should be followed by a colon? Countries in Eastern Europe include Bulgaria, Poland, Belarus, and Ukraine. A. include B. Countries C. Eastern D. There is no error in colon usage

Actually, I don't think this sentence needs a colon.

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Yes, because it is a list of countries.

OpenStudy (lovelyanna):

True... but it would still make sense without the colons, right? :P

OpenStudy (lovelyanna):

You're welcome :) Bye

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

It still is pronounced the same, but you use a colon when listing things, in this case, the countries are what is being listed.

Mmm, I see =)
