Answer 1

Quotation marks were added to the sentences to properly indicate the spoken phrases within the dialog. This is necessary to clearly show each character's speech in the text.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's sentences with the needed quotation marks added would be:

1. Jan said, "I’ll be glad to tell you about Juneteenth."
2. "It marks the day in 1865," she continued, "when the slaves in Texas were made free people."
3. Lloyd asked, "What day is Juneteenth celebrated?"
4. "It’s celebrated every year on the nineteenth of June," Jan replied.
5. Did Lloyd say, "I’m going to read more about this holiday?"

The subject matter of these sentences concerns Juneteenth, a significant date in history that marks the end of slavery for people in Texas, and by extension, in the Confederate states still in rebellion against the United States at that time. The conversation likely involves a discussion about the Emancipation Proclamation and its implications for African-American history.

Therefore, quotation marks were added to the sentences to properly indicate the spoken phrases within the dialog.
