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 contain punctuation errors. For example, the second sentence should not have parentheses around "will speak at the grand opening event," the third sentence should capitalize "treat," and the fourth sentence is a comma splice and should be separated by a semicolon or made into two sentences.
