Okay, what do you think it is? Keep in mind, it says "NOT" use correctly.

C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know that it asks about the colon being used correctly, but I'm not sure C is the best answer here. This is because it says "we have to do", and then it uses "your"

B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, my apologies. I read it incorrectly

OpenStudy (owllover101):

what are you apologizing for

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It says "does NOT use a colon correctly" and C uses the colon correctly, so we need to find the one that doesn't!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B also uses it correctly. :)

OpenStudy (owllover101):

D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D uses the colon correctly. A does NOT use the colon correctly because a colon is not necessary in A. It should just be "These gift bags are for Mrs. Hernandez, Mr. Rollins, and Miss Crane."
