Problem

Baking cookies fill the house with a delicious aroma that makes everyone feel at home. Do you have a special recipe for cookies that you enjoy:

2

Clue

Since the underlined portion is written as a direct question, the punctuation at the end must reflect interrogative intent. Even though the sentence appears after a statement, it functions as a separate and complete question, and therefore requires the correct ending punctuation.

3

Hint

Any sentence that asks a question must end with a question mark, even when it follows or is connected to a statement.

Choices

5

Choice-A

Choice A is incorrect. A colon at the end of a question is misuse of punctuation; colons introduce lists or explanations and cannot replace a question mark. Ending with a colon prevents the sentence from being read as a question even though it is clearly phrased as one.

Wrong No change

6

Choice-B

Choice B is incorrect. A period ends a sentence as a statement, not a question. Using a period would change the meaning and tone of the sentence, making the question sound like a factual statement rather than an inquiry.

Wrong Do you have a special recipe for cookies that you enjoy.

7

Choice-C

Choice C is correct. A question mark properly signals that the speaker is asking something directly. The sentence structure clearly expresses a question, so the question mark is the grammatically appropriate ending.

Correct Do you have a special recipe for cookies that you enjoy?

8

Choice-D

Choice D is incorrect. A comma at the end of a sentence is grammatically incomplete and cannot function as closing punctuation. It leaves the question unfinished and does not convey interrogative tone.

Wrong Do you have a special recipe for cookies that you enjoy,
