Which sentence is punctuated correctly?

Sonia’s mother encouraged us by declaring “You will succeed!”

James said, “Let’s go to the movies.”

“Stay together” the baby-sitter begged, “this arcade is crowded.

“We will discuss this on Saturday, Jerry said.”

The answer to your question would be that the sentence that is punctuated correctly is the following one: James said, "Let's go to the movies."

You use quotation marks when you want to include someone else's words in your writing. In this case, the example stands for a direct quotation mark, that is, a quotation in which James's words have been reported exactly.
