2. What sentence is correct?

B. Here are some way to improve your grades: take notes, study every evening, and take practice quizzes.
C. Here are some way to improve your grades take notes, study every evening, and take practice quizzes.
D. Here are some way to improve your grades, take notes, study every evening, and take practice quizzes.

Answer 1

I do believe that the First one is D due to the fact that it is an appositive and I think it should be separated by a coma

The second one is A or B

Answer 2

number one is C, "my cousin invited me to visit her this summer" is its own sentence. the ; adds extra information to the sentence itself.

number two is B, the : entails to the list that is coming next in the text.

hope this helps
