✔ 最佳答案

如果用 following 一字作 “下列” 意思, 應該用「冒號」colon (：)。
不過, 問題裡三句都錯了。就是用 colon, 我們也不會寫為 Which of the followings: a,b,or c is correct? 正確寫法是 Which of the following is correct： a, b, or c? 留意「冒號」的位置應該放在那裡。
另外, following 不必加 ‘s’, 就算 “下列” 是指多個選擇或多樣東西, 因為 following 一字是包括 that is/that are 的意思。
其他例句：
Which of the following is true：1/ The sun rises from the east 2/ The sun rises from the west.
Payment can be made by the following methods：cash, cheque, or credit card.
記著, following 不加 ‘s’。

None are correct. It should be...
Which of the followings: a, b, or c is correct?
