Question

Can someone please help

Answer 1

Question:
Choose the sentence in which quotation marks are used correctly.

A) Mi Ling asked “if she could be excused.”
B) “Scooby asked Shaggy if he could have a Scooby snack”.
C) “Do you think it’s going to snow tonight?” asked Anna Jean.
D) “Why don’t we go to the new restaurant for dinner? said Tom.”

Answer:
The correct answer is C. A and B can be eliminated because they are not dialog (people speaking). D can be eliminated because the person saying the dialog is in the quotation marks.

Hope this helped you! <3

Answer 2

I would say C) is the correct answer.

With quotations remember:

• A quote must include capitalization at the beginning of a sentence.

For example, Mi Ling asked "(I)f she could be excused."

• Only the quote should have quotation marks around them.

For example, "Why don't we go to the restaurant for dinner?" said Tom. (Said Tom would not be in quotation marks!)

• When giving information before a quote, you must add a comma.

For example, Mi Ling asked(,) "If she could be excused."
