What do you think the answer is?

A. We need to add these ingredients baking soda, brown sugar, and salt. 


Is it this? Remember what we said. Colons aren't necessarily needed!

misssmartiez · Answer

So, I'd say correct.



D is obviously not correct. Baking Soda etc falls under a category cooking, so it wouldn't be a colon after, however, BEFORE.

likeabossssssss · Answer

so a is right

misssmartiez · Answer

However, in this term, B  seems ok.


 We need to add these ingredients baking soda, brown sugar, and salt. 


It seems to be missing something to link ingredients to baking soda. Maybe.... Colons could work in this term

misssmartiez · Answer

I wouldn't add colons all that much, but in this term it seems correct.
