"What," he said sternly, "has the author done?"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Uhh c?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because the H isn't capitalized ?... I think?

OpenStudy (btaylor):

Yes, it is C because it continues the sentence. I'm not sure if a "divided quote" includes the end of a sentence.

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

OpenStudy (btaylor):

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):
