A: between the words “friends” and “Vanessa”
B: between the words “four” and “of”
C: between the words “soccer” and “with”
D: between the words “Steven” and “played”

Respuesta :

I would say A for sure. 

Answer:

A colon is needed between the word "friends" and "Vanessa". (A)

Explanation:

A colon means "that is to say". In this case, the colon has been used to introduce a series of items. You should not capitalize the first item after the colon unless it is a proper noun (as it happens to be the case in this sentence). The series of items introduced are names of the friends with who Steven played soccer on Saturday.
