Which sentence below is properly punctuated? a. bertie was proud of his new title; vice president in charge of special tasks. b. bertie was proud of his new title: vice president in charge of special tasks. c. bertie was proud of his new title vice president in charge of special tasks.

The correct answer is B. Bertie was proud of his new title: Vice President in charge of Special Task.

Explanation:

In "Bertie was proud of his new title: Vice President in charge of Special Task" the use of colon(:) is correctly as colon is a punctuation mark used before a list of elements,an enumeration, an explanation or quotation that is directly related to the previous sentence, considering "Vice President in Charge of Special Task" is directly connected to Bertie's title and it is an explanation for this, the colon is the most appropriate punctuation mark, in comparison to semicolon (;) and comma (,) which are used to separate ideas but not to provide an explanation. Thus, sentence B is properly punctuated as the use of colon (:) is appropriate for the content of the sentence.
