- (A) :
- (B) ;
- (C) ,
- (D) !
- (A) :
The correct punctuation mark for this sentence is a colon (:). A colon is used to introduce a list that explains or expands on the preceding statement. The sentence should read: “I’ve visited three countries: France, the USA, and Australia.” The colon clearly separates the introductory clause from the list of items.
He is looking for someone to offer her glamorous, well paid and undemanding job, but I think he is:
- (A) A happy medium
- (B) A lame duck
- (C) Crying for the moon
- (D) Cheek by jowl
- (C) Crying for the moon
“Crying for the moon” means wanting something that is impossible or unrealistic. In this case, searching for a job that is “glamorous, well paid, and undemanding” is an unreasonable expectation, much like trying to reach the moon. The idiom fits because it describes asking for something that is simply too good to be true.
