Think about the work you completed in your reading character role. Determine the ideas that would be most worthy to share in a literary discussion about dragon wings. Provide an explanation for your choices. How did the role you selected and the work you completed help you to understand more about the text? Support your response with at least two pieces of evidence from the novel.pleas answer this?

Answer: A "Ouch!"

Step-by-step explanation: Option B is discarded because the quote must end before the narration ("Lou cried") resumes; option C is wrong because you can't mix single and double quotation marks at the same level; option D could be correct only in a context where the exclamation point is part of the main sentence and not of the quote, e.g.: I can't believe I slapped Walter in the face and he didn't even say "Ouch"!
