which statement(s) should have semicolons to separate the items in the series?
a) statement 1 only
b) statement 2 only
c) statement 3 only
d) statement 4 only

d. statement 4: tom can pick up dinner: pizza, chicken, or ham would be fine.

explanation:

a semicolon needs to be between the words "dinner" and "pizza" because you are linking the two together. tom can pick up dinner; pizza, chicken, or ham would be fine. a colon would be appropriate if you were saying the ingredients for dinner, but since we are saying that any of those options are okay for dinner, this makes it two sentences that are linked. you would use a colon (: ) if we were to say "tom can you pick up dinner that include these ingredients: pizza, chicken, and ham.
