Question

Choose the sentence that uses italics or quotation marks correctly. Kendall looked up this article in the Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature. Her book report is on Johnny Reb by Merritt P. Allen. "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" is one of the best-known plays of Tennessee Williams. Jackson Pollock splattered oil, aluminum paint, and enamel onto canvas for his painting Lucifer.

Answer 1

"Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" is one of the best-known plays of Tennessee Williams.

Answer 2

"Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" is one of the best-known plays of Tennessee Williams.

Step-by-step explanation:

The positioning of the title of the book "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" within inverted commas is the correct way of punctuating the whole sentence. This same rule is foregone in the other sentences which makes them incorrect. The first sentence didn't punctuate Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature. Likewise, the second and fourth sentences should also put "Johnny Reb" and "Lucifer" within inverted commas as they are also titles of a book and a work of art.
