Answer 1

Answer:

C) Sobbing, Jenny ran up to her father. "Daddy! Amelia is so mean. She said, 'Get away from me!' "

Explanation:

This answer choice is correct because it uses the proper quotation marks to begin her statement ("), and then the (') is used correctly. You only use one quotation mark when there is a quote/statement inside of another quote/statement.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is C

Explanation:

The second option is OUT!

The reason why I say this would be because when someone is getting ready to speak, the sentence needs to have quotation marks, and the second option, which is D, does not have quotation marks, So that's out for sure!

B is wrong because when saying "she said get away from me". It was spelled just with no quotation marks. and not "'. This is why.

But, after looking at there other options, your correct answer would actually be Sobbing, Jenny ran up to her father. "Daddy! Amelia is so mean. She said, 'Get away from me!' " 

This would be because they have ' ' inside of the "". This is why.

Hope this was useful to you!
