Will give brainliest which sentence has correct punctuation? the balloons should be tied to: the front door, the mailbox, and the lamppost. the balloons will look best by: the front door, the mailbox, and the lamppost. put balloons on: the front door, the mailbox, and the lamppost. attach balloons to these places: the front door, the mailbox, and the lamppost.

The sentence that has correct punctuation is the last one (Please attach balloons to these places: the front door, the mailbox, and the lamppost.)

Explanation:

A colon means "that is to say". In this case, the colon has been used to introduce an item or series of items.  The NPs after the colon are the places to which the balloons should be attached. You should not capitalize the first item after the colon unless it is a proper noun.

faulty parallelism is a construction in which two or more parts of a sentence are equivalent in meaning but not grammatically similar in form.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.

the problem is the last sentence, the first two have a basic subject+verb+object structure.

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in all three sentences:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.
