Answer: option A) ''You must eat breakfast everyday,'' said the doctor, ''or you'll not be able to concentrate.''

Step-by-step explanation:

The given statement is made by a doctor, and reported by a 3rd person. Also, it contains two related thoughts by the doctor. Thus, there is a main clause, and a subordinate (joining) clause

Main clause: "You must eat breakfast everyday"

Subordinate clause: "or you'll not be able to concentrate"

The TWO clauses must then be in quoted form (" "), EXCEPT from the phrase 'said the doctor'. So, the answer is option A
