1. "I'm afraid," thought the woman, "that this cold will prevent me from attending the meeting."
2. "I'm afraid" thought the woman, "that this cold will prevent me from attending the meeting."
3. "I'm afraid, "thought the woman" that this cold will prevent me from attending the meeting."
4. "I'm afraid," thought the woman, "that this cold will prevent me, from attending the meeting."

Answer 1

Number 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is number 1 because it includes the comma before the second part of the sentence. It does not need a comma after me, and it is not there, so it is correct.
