Directions: Identify whether the following sentences require an (S) semicolon or a (C) colon.
Question: The award show features rap musicians, pop musicians, two alternative bands, and even some jazz artists.
Answer: (C) Colon
It doesn't show the sentence with the colon included, but I assume they meant, The award show features: rap musicians, pop musicians, two alternative bands, and even some jazz artists.
Is this correct? I've always thought the introduction-before the colon-must be a complete sentence.

Your answer seems to be the one they want. It is not an uncommon usage in PR writing. However, the sentence stands without either.
