Option 4 : The "colon" is used to separate two related clauses.
The correct answer is 'The "colon" is used to separate two related clauses.'
- A "colon" can be used to separate two independent clauses not to separate the two related clauses.
- Example: A blue whale is not fish: it is a mammal.
Hence, option 4) is the correct answer.
Let's discuss other options:
- Option 1) is correct as a "colon" is used to give emphasis, present dialogue, introduce lists or text, and clarify composition titles.
- Introduce lists, text, or tabular material: Capitalize the first word after the colon only if it is a proper noun or the start of a complete sentence.
- Example: Stefan's future is dependent on three things: sustainability, diversity, and enhancing our strength and health.
- Option 2) is correct as a "colon" is used to introduce explanatory material which explains, exemplifies, or summarizes such as examples and appositives.
- Example: Chloe didn't eat the chicken: it had way too much oily.
- Option 3) is correct as the contract Clause imposes certain prohibitions on the states. A distinct provision, article, section, or paragraph in a written legal document.
- By breaking down the documents by section or paragraph, it becomes easier to refer to pertinent information.
- Example: Attorney Silas may direct the court to a specific section of his client’s employment contract, saying: “In Section II, paragraph 3, the employment contract specifically allows Mr. Coinneach to continue his work on his book.”
