What should you do with a colon when marking key parts of a passage?

  1. Box it

  2. Underline it

  3. Circle it

  4. Highlight it

The correct answer is: Circle it

When marking key parts of a passage, such as a colon, circling it is the most effective way to emphasize its significance. This technique draws attention to the colon and indicates that the information following it is closely related to what precedes it. Boxing or highlighting the colon may be too distracting or excessive, while underlining might not provide enough emphasis. By circling the colon, you can easily identify and remember its role in the passage.
