Read the following reading comprehension and answer the question given below:

For two months, I have been trying to decide who makes the best ice cream. I have
narrowed it down to my four favorite manufacturers: Randolph Farms, Goodies, Disco,
and Twinkle. Let's start with Randolph Farms. Randolph Farms makes very good ice
cream. They have lots of different flavors, but this doesn't really matter to me. That's
because I always get coffee flavor. They make the best coffee ice cream in the world.
I've never had hot coffee (the drink) but people tell me that Randolph Farms coffee ice
cream tastes just like the real thing. Also, Randolph Farms uses all natural ingredients
to make their ice cream. This is a good idea, I think. Second, we have Goodies.

Goodies make excellent ice cream. Like Randolph Farms, Goodies uses all-natural
ingredients. They only make three different flavors—strawberry, vanilla, and
chocolate— but they make them very well. The strawberry is amazing. Every bite of it
reminds me of the strawberries that I used to pick behind my old house. The vanilla is
wonderful. It is very smooth and has a refreshing, creamy taste. The chocolate is
outstanding. It is made with real cocoa beans from Bolivia. I didn't know where Bolivia is
so I decided to look for it on a map. After hunting a while, I discovered that it is in South
America! That's a long way to go to get cocoa, so it must be good. I would say that the
only drawback to Goodies Ice Cream is that they only make three different flavors.

Third, we have Disco. Disco ice cream is okay. They don't have many good flavors.
Actually, the only Disco flavor I like is Bubblegum. It is vanilla ice cream with little
chunks of bubblegum in it. After you eat the ice cream, you can blow bubbles with the
gum. That's pretty fun. Finally, there is Twinkle. Twinkle ice cream is mediocre. The only
good thing about Twinkle is that it is relatively inexpensive. You can buy a whole carton
of twinkle ice cream for $4.50. That's only two weeks' allowance for me.

gives more detailed information about this idea, often as a list. If the colon could talk, it
