Question

Which of the following direct quotations is punctuated properly?

A. "Way to go, Sean," the coach shouted. "That was a great run!"
 
B. "Way to go, Sean," the coach shouted. "That was a great run"!  

C. "Way to go, Sean", the coach shouted. "That was a great run"!
 
D. "Way to go, Sean", the coach shouted. "That was a great run!"

Answer 1

Well for starters if we do process of elimination, we can cross out C) and D) because the quotation marks Sean'' should be after the comma, not before the comma, so now its between A) and B). The correct answer should be A) because the quotation marks are before and after the sentence, not in the middle/during.

Answer 2

A. "Way to go, Sean," the coach shouted. "That was a great run!"
