|Using Colons Effectively|| This quiz was prepared by Noreena
Sondhi, a student in Professor Karyn Hollis's Tutor Training
course at Villanova University. Directions: Click on "The
sentence, please!" and a sentence will appear in the top text-
area. Usually, the sentence can be improved with the addition of
a colon. Sometimes, though, the sentence will contain a colon
which needs to be removed or placed elsewhere. A bit of
rewriting might be necessary. When you are finished with each
sentence (or, if you wish, wait until you've done them all),
click on "Grammar's Version," which will reveal how we would
have used colons in these sentences. Don't cheat by looking at
Grammar's Version first. If you wish to erase your answers and
