Question

read the sentence. i need to stop at: the bank, the grocery store, and the dry cleaners. which best explains why the colon after \at\ should be removed? the colon does not introduce a list of items and is therefore unnecessary. the introductory text in the sentence cannot stand alone. colons are only used to introduce lists composed of more than three items. colons are not used to introduce lists of items in sentences.

Explanation:

Para usar un colon, el texto antes del colon debe ser una oración independiente. En "I need to stop at", no es una oración completa que pueda existir por sí misma, por lo que el colon no es adecuado.

Answer:

The introductory text in the sentence cannot stand alone.
