Question

among the candidates for daily show anchor were amy poehler, who quickly declined, chris rock, who considered filling in for a limited term; and trevor noah, who accepted the offer. choose 1 answer: a no change b declined c declined; d declined:

Explanation:

The original sentence has a list of candidates. The structure is "Amy Poehler, who...; Chris Rock, who...; and Trevor Noah, who...". The semicolon is used to separate the items in the list. The comma after "declined" in option A is incorrect as it should be a semicolon to match the list structure. Option B has no punctuation which is wrong. Option D uses a colon which is incorrect for this list - item separation. Option C with a semicolon is correct as it follows the pattern of the list.

Answer:

C. declined;
