    The sentence that uses a colon correctly is: "Maggie was turned away at the door of the show: she didn't have a ticket or any money, and the show had already started an hour before. The rule applied here is, the punctuation mark, colon, can be used to separate two independent clauses in the sentence given that the second clause is the explanation of the first clause.
