Question

I will always remember what my father told me one day after I'd lost a game and was in tears because I'd really wanted to win. These were his words __ "Your family will love you no matter what. Just do your best!"

Fill in the blank with the correct punctuation.
A) , B) ... C) : D) ;

Answer 1

It would be C) :
Good day.

Answer 2

C. :

Step-by-step explanation:

A colon is the best punctuation mark to use in the blank. A colon can be used before a quote when there is a complete sentence before the quote. Otherwise, a comma is an appropriate to separate a quote from the rest of the sentence. In this case, "These were his words" is a complete sentence. Therefore, a colon, rather than a comma,is the appropriate punctuation.
