Correct choices: 2, 3, and 5.
Brief reasons:
- 2 is correct: a colon introduces the list and semicolons properly separate the complex list items.
- 3 is correct: the series of days is punctuated properly (comma-separated).
- 5 is correct: the introductory subordinate clause is followed by a comma and the list uses the serial comma.
(1 is incorrect because a colon shouldn’t follow the preposition "in"; 4 omits the serial comma and is treated as incorrect here.)
