Answer 1

Answer:

D. This is how I plan to start my book report: "If you want to chuckle and cheer, then cry and fear, my book is for you."

The colon is used to separate two independent clauses when the second explains or illustrates the first. In such usage, the colon functions in much the same way as the semicolon.
