Which word in the sentence, if any, should be followed by a colon? The islands we visited on our Hawaiian vacation include Oahu, Maui, Lanai, and Kauai. A. Hawaiian B. vacation C. include D. No colon is needed. a?

@UliNK

OpenStudy (ulink):

Nope, not A.

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

I would say D. The reason why is simple. Semicolons just combine two sentences. So, no piece of that sentence can be broken in two.

likeabossssssss (likeabossssssss):

otay is it d @UliNK

OpenStudy (ulink):

Yes, I agree with D.

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

Do these sentences make sense on their own? A. Hawaiian The islands we visited on our Hawaiian. Vacation include Oahu, Maui, Lanai, and Kauai. B. vacation The islands we visited on our Hawaiian vacation. Include Oahu, Maui, Lanai, and Kauai. C. include The islands we visited on our Hawaiian vacation include. Oahu, Maui, Lanai, and Kauai.
