Read the sentence. ted kennedy championed various causes an increase in the minimum wage, health care reform, and immigration reform. which change should be made to correct the punctuation in this sentence? insert a period between causes and an. insert a colon between causes and an. insert a comma between causes and an. insert a semicolon between causes and an.

The correct answer is B. Insert a colon between causes and an.

Explanation:

In writing, the colon (:) is a punctuation mark that introduces a list of items. Additionally, a colon should be used only if the sentence right before the colon is complete as otherwise it should be omitted.

In the case of the sentence presented the elements "an increase in the minimum wage, health care reform, and immigration reform" are a set of elements in a list that explain the various campaigns of Kennedy. Therefore a colon should be used to introduce this list especially because the first sentence is complete and there is not a transition to list the causes. Thus, in this sentence, you should insert a colon between causes and an, which means "Ted Kennedy championed various causes: an increase in the minimum wage, health care reform, and immigration reform".

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
