Question

A. “We could go roller skating, Anushka suggested, or would you rather see a movie?”
B. “We could go roller skating”, Anushka suggested, “or would you rather see a movie”?
C. “We could go roller skating,” Anushka suggested, “or would you rather see a movie?”
D. “We could go roller skating,” Anushka suggested, or would you rather see a movie?

Answer 1

C. "We could go roller skating," Anushka suggested, "or would you rather see a movie?"

Answer 2

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Everything in this sentence but the clause "Anushka suggested" is part of the dialogue and should therefore be enclosed with quotation marks. Option A is wrong because it includes the narration, while option D leaves out part of the dialogue. Of the remaining options, only C is correct because commas always go before the closing quotation marks.
