Answer 1

#1 is B

'' We're going to volunteer at the animal shelter,'' said Dan, ''Do you want to come?''

Answer 2

From the first drop-up menu, the sentence that contains no errors in punctuation or use of italics is B, that is, "We're going to volunteer at the animal shelter,", said Dan, "Do you want to come?". This is the case because the comma is included within the quotation mark ("we're going to volunteer at the animal shelter,").

In the second drop-up menu, the sentence that correctly uses punctuation or italics is D, that is, "I am absolutely positive," Vera replied.
