Which choice is correctly punctuated? Next summer; we will visit relatives in Ireland. I can’t wait to see: Ireland. I can’t wait to see Ireland: when we visit relatives. We will be visiting relatives in Ireland next summer: It is a place I can’t wait to see!

I'd say A, since using the : means your going to list numerous items.

It definitely isn't the 2nd or 3rd one. The first one should have a comma, not a semi-colon. So it's the 4th one.

@CorrodeDKiller, there is a period at the end. If you were going to list more, there wouldn't be a period. Also, that is a semi-colon, not a regular colon. The regular colon is used for lists. The semi-colon is not.

i'm saying it is A because all the other ones use colons but aren't using a list. Using the semi colon just puts a pause like a comma.
