Answer 4

Ohh KK r u sure?

Answer 5

Positive. Titles should always be in quotation marks.

Answer 6

Right Thanks

Answer 7

No problem.

Answer 8

The title of movies or plays are supposed to be italicized though! The answer choices with quotation marks are wrong because you only use them when stating the title of a poem, essay, newspaper, etc. Titles of operas and movies and tv shows should be italicized. Which ever answer has the title italicized is correct. Look here: http://grammartips.homestead.com/titles.html

Answer 9

Ok thanks so it would be C?
