Here are the answers of the given questions above:

18. The sentence that contains an error in colon usage is option C. Brandon wanted to go fishing: but I wanted to go sailing. In this sentence, it should be a comma and not a colon.

19. An example of an indirect quotation would be option D. The lawyer said that your case will not take long. Indirect quotations no longer need quotation marks.
