Four questions that have me confused!
Hi there. I actually have a few questions and would greatly appreciate your help in answering any or even all of them. Thank you so much for your help!
1) All of my favorite seafood items were included in the lunch buffet, such as clams, mussels, and scallops.
If the sentence were to be kept as it is, would the highlighted comma be the most appropriate punctuation to use in between "buffet" and "such"? Should it be replaced with a colon? Or should there be no punctuation there at all?
2) Which of the following three options implies movement?
( a) on
(b) on to
(c) onto
