Answer:

Question 1: C

Question 2: D

Question 3: B

Question 4; C

Question 5; B

Question 6: D

Question 7: Copy the following conversation into the text box. Add punctuation and capitalization so the dialogue is written correctly.

"How was the science fair ?" Ingrid asked curiously.

"It was weird." answered Lenny, scribbling down some notes. "My volcano exploded and melted the table ."

"At least it worked." said Ingrid, grinning.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1. Always put a coma in the first quote if you put in action in between two quotes.

Question 2: Action before quote, but not quote before action. That also calls for a coma.

Question 3: You need to signal there is a question.

Question 4: Replace the period in the qote with a coma.

Question 5: 2, because it indicates that Logan and Kerry are children, not adults. The signal words are Mom and Dad.

Question 6: 4. The signal words are "backyard", as a backyard is apart of a house, which means Logan and Kerry are in the house.

Question 7: You add quotes to dialogue. And perods when a sentence ends
