Answer:

C is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

A) If Jess is asking, then the sentence would go "What time is it?" asked Jess.

B) The teacher would say "Are you asking if it is time to go?" the teacher replied

C) Jess assured him, "Yes, that is exactly what I am asking!"

In conclusion, for A and B, all that is wrong is that the ? is in the wrong places.

Hope this helps

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because when a character asks "What time is it" it's "What time is it?" because they are asking a question and it doesn't make sense if you say: the teacher replied?

This makes more sense:

False: "What time is it," asked Jess?

Correct: "What time is it?" asked Jess.
