Question

A.
To make her famous pumpkin bread, Myndi said, "She prefers using canned pumpkin."

B.
To make her famous pumpkin bread, Myndi said, "she prefers using canned pumpkin."

C.
To make her famous pumpkin bread, Myndi, "said she prefers using canned pumpkin."

D.
No changes to the sentence are necessary.

Answer 1

D

Answer 2

Yep D is absolutely correct, because the other options use quotation marks, which would only make sense if the beginning of the sentence had them too, like this: "To make her famous pumpkin bread," Myndi said, "she prefers using canned pumpkin."
Since that's not an option and other other quotation uses are incorrect, D is correct- no change!
