Which answer choice best corrects the punctuation and capitalization errors in the sentence, if any errors exist?

Now that she has eaten lunch, Annie says she feels much better.

A.Now that she has eaten lunch, Annie says, "she feels much better."

B.Now that she has eaten lunch, Annie, "says she feels much better."

C.Now that she has eaten lunch, Annie says, "She feels much better."

D.No changes to the sentence are necessary.

Respuesta :

The correct answer is D.No changes to the sentence are necessary. The sentence given is already error-free. The choices actually make the sentence more erroneous because they change its structure to a direct quote, whereas it really is an indirect quote. The clue lies in the word "she" because Annie cannot refer to herself in a direct quote as "she". Instead, the correct sentence reports what Annie said.
