The British colonies had been around for 150 years in the1760s - Virginia was the first to be founded in 1606. By 1763 a sizablespread of land had been carved out for Britain, and the colonies were prospering.Most importantly, the Seven Years War had just finished, leading to a completewithdrawal from the American mainland on the part of France, and, for theSpanish, losses of all but a rump of formerly French holdings west of Florida.The two great territorial rivals of the British colonies had been removedas a threat. The future looked bright and secure for the Americans, withthe prospect of unlimited westward expansion held back only by the Britishresponse to Indian raids, the Proclamation Line along the Appalachians whichprevented further settlement of the continent's interior.
The 13 mainland colonies between South Carolina and Maine,in particular, had grown from British settlements established for trade andprestige, highly dependent on the motherland, into semi-autonomous states.The 10 other colonies were in a very different situation, with small whitepopulations almost exclusively growing sugar for sale to Britain in the Caribbeancolonies, a very limited population with underdeveloped civil governmentcollected in small areas of Newfoundland, and Nova Scotia little more thana military outpost.[1] It is no accident that it was the aforementioned 13 colonies[2] thatrebelled so yeah

C. In time, of course, all issues get resolved, but not necessarily in the way you would like.
D. The king ordered that all his subjects should show their allegiance through common forms of attire:yet many people continue
to wear the traditional hats of their various regions.
Based off the process of elimination the answer is C.
A: Francis had a lot on his mind that afternoon, he was concerned about his mother's illness and about losing his job.
After the word Afternoon, there should be a semi-colon rather than a comma.
B: The packing instructions asked each camper to bring the following items, a flashlight, a sleeping bag, sunscreen, and a book for
Independent reading.
After the word items, there should be a colon rather than a comma.
D: The king ordered that all his subjects should show their allegiance through common forms of attire: yet many people continue to wear the traditional hats of their various regions.
After the word attire, there is a colon, when there should be a comma.
Therefore, the answer is C
Sentence C is the only sentence that uses punctuation correctly. The other sentences all contain punctuation mistakes, such as comma splices in A and B, and an improper use of a colon in D.
The question asks us to identify which sentence is using correct punctuation. The correct answer is C. In time, of course, all issues get resolved, but not necessarily in the way you would like.
Let's analyze each sentence:
A and B have comma splices, which is a grammatical mistake where two independent clauses are connected with a comma rather than a semicolon or a coordinating conjunction.
D uses a colon improperly. A colon should be followed by an explanation, elaboration, or specification of the previous clause, not an independent clause.
Therefore, C is the only sentence that follows the correct use of punctuation. It uses the comma correctly to separate the introductory phrase, to set off the parenthetical expression 'of course', and to connect two independent clauses with a coordinating conjunction 'but'
