Question

hat is the best way to punctuate the end of this quotation? “Ouch! Lou cried. A. “Ouch!” B. “Ouch’! C. “Ouch! D. “Ouch”!

Answer 1

A. "Ouch!" Punctuation should be inside the quotation :)

Answer 2

Your answer is A. "Ouch!"

There is no comma and you place the exclamation point inside quotation marks. There is no comma. The tag doesn’t begin with a cap since it’s part of the same sentence, even though there’s a question mark in the middle of the sentence.
You can use this same construction for the the question mark.
