Answer:

The sentences that use the colon correctly are the following ones: "Jessica's supplies for the trip included these items(...)" and "Annette left her hometown with just one (...)".

Explanation:

In the first sentence (the one about Jessica), the colon has been used to introduce each of the items on a list. These items are the ones that make up Jessica's supplies for the trip. In the second sentence, the colon has been used instead of the semicolon between two independent clauses as the second clause explains on the first sentence. The sentence after the colon specifies Annette's goal after leaving her hometown (to see the world and experience different cultures).

malfutka [58]
Utilitarian must mean useful and practical.
As you can see in the excerpt above, it says that writers such as Franklin, Paine, Jefferson, and their contemporaries, wrote fiction which served a particular purpose, as opposed to other writers who only wanted to entertain the masses. So, their purpose was not to entertain, therefore <em>fun oriented </em>is wrong here.

Proofread the following text and correct the three subject-verb disagreements. If online dating has become too tedious for you,
Genrish500 [490]

A subject-verb disagreement is when we use the plural-form verb for a single-form noun or a single-form verb is used for a plural noun, for example "she read" or "they reads". In the text the three subject-verb disagreements are: 1. "app that ask people" it should be: "app that asks people" because app is a singular noun. 2. "There are a difference", the correct form would be: "There is a difference" because difference is a singular noun. 3. "What the public actually desire" it should be: What the public actually desires" because public is a singular noun.

Olin [163]

The correct option is: "Sydney draws visitors from all around the world to see its iconic architectural masterpiece—the Sydney Opera House."

<u><em>The dash </em></u>can be used in English to add explanatory phrases or comments, similar to parentheses. In formal writing, parentheses should be used instead of hyphens, since the latter sign is considered more informal. Dashes can be used to emphasize a sentence.
