Question

which is the best way to complete the text?
the following marsupials are all native to ______ koalas, wombats,
and tasmanian devils.
australia. kangaroos,
australia: kangaroos,
australia kangaroos,

Explanation:

To complete the text, we need to consider punctuation and list structure. The first option "Australia. Kangaroos," uses a period which incorrectly ends the thought about the native location. The third option "Australia kangaroos," lacks proper punctuation to separate the location and the list of marsupials. The second option "Australia: kangaroos," uses a colon to introduce the list of marsupials (kangaroos, koalas, wombats, Tasmanian devils) that are native to Australia, which is grammatically correct and logically structures the sentence.

Answer:

B. Australia: kangaroos,
