Answer 1

1. True.

2. False.

3. The dialog tag is not the start of a new sentence if it is in the middle of a sentence.

4. The sentence is incorrect because the word "said" should have the lowercase "s" as it is part of the middle of the sentence.

5. none of above.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dialog tags are clauses that identify a speaker of a speech in a text. Examples of speech tags are: She said, he yelled, she asked, he asked, among others.

It is common for these dialog tags to appear in the middle of sentences, being part of the sentence that starts the dialog and not as a new sentence, although this can happen in certain cases. Therefore, the dialog tag is usually enclosed in commas. The comma that precedes the dialog tag must be placed before the closing of the quotation marks, while the comma placed after the dialog tag must be placed before the opening of the quotation marks. An example of this can be seen in the sentence: "The cat is black," said John, "that's why it's so cute."

If the clause before the dialog tag ends with an exclamation or question mark, the comma must not be used.
