What do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let me give you a hint: It wouldn't be C because the word has to be capitalized. The quotation marks come after the exclamation point, and a comma has to come before her declaration.

The correct answer would be D

@rosebud4612flvs Dont just give out answers. @kjsofreshmurray The exclamation point is part of emphasazing what she's saying so that will have to go inside the quotation marks as well.

@inowalst I gave an explanation before I gave the answer so I didn't just give an answer out randomly from the blue. I was just trying to help.

OpenStudy (inowalst):

Yes, you can explain but let them think..

OpenStudy (inowalst):

Dont say the answer.

OpenStudy (inowalst):

Because the exclamation point is part of what she's saying. You never add a period, question/exclamation mark outside the quotation marks.
