Decide where a colon is needed in the following sentence.
on saturday, steven played soccer with four of his friends vanessa, thomas, isabel, and logan.
a: between the words “friends” and “vanessa”
b: between the words “four” and “of”
c: between the words “soccer” and “with”
d: between the words “steven” and “played”

A colon is needed between the word "friends" and "Vanessa". (A)

Explanation:

A colon means "that is to say". In this case, the colon has been used to introduce a series of items. You should not capitalize the first item after the colon unless it is a proper noun (as it happens to be the case in this sentence). The series of items introduced are names of the friends with who Steven played soccer on Saturday.

the purpose of the heading in the passage is to identify who is telling the story.

this excerpt is part of the book sugar changed the world (2010) written by marc aronson and marina budhos. as the book has been written by two people, the heading "marc" indicates that this specific excerpt is being narrated by aronson. in the fragment, marc describes his grandfather's story after hearing it from his cousin. however, there are other excerpts where budhos is the one that tells the story of her family.

aronson and budhos, who are husband and wife in real life, decided to write sugar changed the world when they found out how sugar, which had an important role in slavery and economy, changed their ancestors' lives.
