What is the correct answer, like, such as, or for example?

(C) is correct.

Hi,

I wouldn't call A or B wrong.

Shouldn't there be a colon after "for example"?

Some symbols are internationally common, for example: "Restrooms"or "Information center."

No.

Some symbols are internationally common, for example: "Restrooms"or "Information center."A common may be inserted: ..., for example,

On second thoughts, 'such as' could be used to fill in the blank.

Sorry I am off topic with my colon question. But can someone explain what I am missing?

"Uses of colon

After an independent clause that precedes a list."

Hi,

This refers to a sentence like this.

Some symbols are internationally common: "Restrooms"or "Information center."


Not Some symbols are internationally common, for example

I got it; it's the "for example" part that makes the difference.

Thank You.
