A. "After a good dinner one can forgive anybody", joked a character in one of Oscar Wilde's plays, "Even one's own relations."
B. "After a good dinner one can forgive anybody," joked a character in one of Oscar Wilde's plays, "even one's own reflections."

Answer 1

The best option is letter B) "After a good dinner one can forgive anybody," joked a character in one of Oscar Wilde's plays, "even one's own reflections."

Step-by-step explanation:

When quoting what someone said, even if it is a character in a play or a story, we must use quotation marks. Notice that they will separate the character's words from the words of the person who is quoting. Also, if a period or a comma must appear, they should come inside the quotation marks, not outside. Therefore, letter B is the best option because it follows those instructions.

B) "After a good dinner one can forgive anybody," joked a character in one of Oscar Wilde's plays, "even one's own reflections."
