Question 6 • Literature and Composition I

Read the sentence. Digestion is divided into four parts, ingestion, digestion, absorption, and elimination. Which revision is necessary?

Answer
A
remove the comma after “absorption”
B
add a colon after “is”
C
change the comma after “parts” to a colon
D
add a colon after “divided”

Explanation

The words “Digestion is divided into four parts” form a complete statement, and the four items that follow explain what those parts are. A colon should introduce the list, so change the comma after “parts” to a colon. The revised sentence reads: “Digestion is divided into four parts: ingestion, digestion, absorption, and elimination.”
