Elimination?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dun think it's C. Has to be either A or B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B is correct because colons are best used to separate if u were saying something

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm going with what makes the most sense, and I believe that it isn't b.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was leaning toward A also...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no no no its B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Prove it. Really not trying to be mean here, but I can't see ho it would be b.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*how

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because you need colons when explain ex* My three best friends are:Mary, Bob, John

OpenStudy (anonymous):

get it now??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You say It's B... Are the dashes and the colon in the right place? Does the sentence make sense to you? It's not Just the colon that you need to look at, It's the dash, Also. Mot trying to be mean x-x
