The winning lottery numbers are three, fifteen, nineteen, and twenty seven. [___]

Answer
A
Add a colon after “are.”
B
Add a hyphen between “twenty” and “seven.”
C
Delete the comma after “nineteen.”
D
No revision is needed.

Explanation

In a compound number from twenty-one through ninety-nine, the tens and ones are joined with a hyphen. Therefore, “twenty seven” should be written “twenty-seven.” The commas separating the winning numbers are correct, and no colon is needed after “are.”
