indirect quotation

Respuesta :

#1 Is the second one, the punctuation always goes inside the quote. 

#2 Same as number one, the punctuation must go inside the quote, so that makes the second one the answer.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

The sentence that is correctly punctuated in the case of 1 is the following one: "Do you like," asked Sandra, "to read fiction or nonfiction?". Then, in the second question, the sentence that is correclty punctuated is the one that reads as follows: Sidney requested, "Please shut the window.". Finally, in the last question, the sentence contains an indirect quotation.

Explanation:

In the first question, the question mark goes inside the quotation because it applies to the quoted material. In the second case, in the United States commas and periods always go inside the quotation marks, and colons and semicolons (dashes as well) go outside.

Finally, in the third choice, the sentence contains an indirect quotation. This can be told by the presence of the complementizer that, the clause contains a verb of saying (say) followed by the complementizer to introduce the words uttered by Orville and Wilbur Wright.
