Answer 1

The sentence that correctly uses punctuation conventions is:

"There are three reasons to visit the beach: the sun, the sand, and the surf."

The other sentences have punctuation errors. For example, the use of parentheses in the second sentence is incorrect because it breaks the flow of the sentence unnecessarily, the third sentence contains a comma splice, and the final sentence should have a capital "T" in "treat."
