Question 16 • English Language Arts 10

Which sentence is correctly punctuated?

Answer
A
I need to buy these ingredients for the recipe tofu, peanuts, and fish sauce.
B
I need to buy these ingredients for the recipe- tofu, peanuts, and fish sauce.
C
I need to buy these ingredients for the recipe: tofu, peanuts, and fish sauce.
D
I need to buy these ingredients for the recipe (tofu, peanuts, and fish sauce).

Explanation

A colon correctly introduces the list that explains which ingredients are needed. The colon in “recipe: tofu, peanuts, and fish sauce” separates the complete introductory statement from the list. A hyphen is not the right punctuation in A, and B needs punctuation before the list.
