Which sentence is punctuated correctly?

a. Waving his hand, Eddie yelled, "We're over here!"
b. "When did you land at the airport" she asked?
c. "Why." Nancy replied, "that might be their taxi cab."
d. Tara said, "They should be here any minute now".

True corret is A. Because ;

In D the period is outside the quotation mark. In B the question mark should be inside the quote. In C there is a period inside the quote, it should be a comma since the quote by itself is not a complete sentence :)

Good Luck.

A. is the only correct sentence.
B. is wrong because the punctuation is in the wrong place.
C. is wrong because there should be a comma after,"Why,"
D. is wrong because the period is outside of the quotation marks.
