Question

Which example of dialogue is formatted correctly? O "Sometimes you win" the coach said, “And sometimes you lose." "Sometimes you win, the coach said, "and sometimes you lose". O "Sometimes you win," the coach said, "and sometimes you lose." O "Sometimes you win" the coach said "And sometimes you lose."​

Answer 1

C). "Sometimes you win," the coach said, "and sometimes you lose."

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct format of writing the given dialogue is displayed in the third option("Sometimes you win," the coach said, "and sometimes you lose") as it follows the punctuation rules appropriately. The quotation marks("...") are employed correctly to denote the exact words of the speaker and the punctuation marks(comma(,) or full stop(.)) are appropriately placed inside the quotation marks(",") as per the rule. The other options either miss the punctuation mark(comma in options A and D before the dialogue tag) or the quotation mark to close the spoken word(in option B). Thus, option C is the correct answer.
