Question

Which sentence is punctuated correctly? A. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself, said Franklin Delano Roosevelt. B. Wait here just a minute, "my mother told us." C. "It seems, Keith said, that they have found their missing dog." D. "We won't attempt," explained the guide, "to reach the summit of the mountain today."

Answer 1

answer choice D.

B has quotation marks around the wrong part of the sentence- it's around the descriptor instead of the comment.
C lacks quotation marks to separate the remark from the descriptor, then back to the remark.
