Answer:

"I am sure," Beth said, "that you are right."

Step-by-step explanation:

Punctuation marks like colon and commas are placed within the closing quotation mark. Besides, when direct quotations are interrupted in the middle to introduce the speaker who originally reproduced the exact words mentioned, then a comma is located before the second set of quotation marks and the second part of the quote is not capitalized.
