Answer: "I tried several new foods on my trip: sushi, dragon fruit, and lychees." and "Diego studies three kinds of dance: jazz, modern, and tap."

Explanation: In the first and last sentences, there shouldn't be a colon (or any punctuation for that matter) between the verb (call/buy) and the direct object that verb takes (her grandmother, etc./seeds, etc.). In the third sentence, the colon should be placed after <em>collage</em> (it is not an item of the list that follows) and a comma should replace the colon before <em>and.</em>

Answer:

The answer to your question would be that the sentences that are correctly punctuated are the following ones:

  1. I tried several new foods on my trip: sushi, dragon fruit, and lychees.
  2. Diego studies three kinds of dance: jazz, modern, and tap

Explanation:

A colon means "that is to say" or "here's what I mean". In both cases, we can see the use of the colon to introduce an item or a series of items. You should never capitalize the first item after the colon. In the first example, it introduces the new foods tried by the speaker and, in the second case, the three kinds of dance Diego studies.

Sophie [7]

Mammals (Mammalia) are a class of vertebrate homeothermic amniotes (of "warm blood") that possess milk-producing mammary glands with which they feed the young. Most are viviparous (with the notable exception of the monotrematas: platypus and echidnas). A clear example of a mammal is man and his best friend, the dog.

This should not be included in the notes, because it is scientifically approved that mammals have the capacity to produce milk and give this food to their young, which is vital for humans or dogs as in the example
