Answer

Brief Explanations:

The original sentence has a semicolon before "rumors", which is incorrect. A semicolon is used to connect two independent clauses. Here, after the semicolon, it's not an independent clause. The colon (:) in the original is also mis - placed. The correct punctuation is to have no punctuation mark here as the part after "cheese" is a continuation of the explanation about the rumors.
