Ideas?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B?

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

I believe so.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help with another

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Sure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's not B.

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

How so?

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

But it could be part of a larger sentence.

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

It is most certainly not C.

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

"But" should not be capitalized because it is the continuation of the sentence.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. "Have you ever been to New York?" asked Jenna.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's A, not B

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

How could you change your answer so quickly? How can I trust you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When @plzhelp!?!? gets it wrong, that will be your way of knowing that I was right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's A.

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

You don't have to be so stubborn about it. Giving out direct answers is against the rules anyway.

Which sentence is punctuated correctly? A. "Well," Bonnie replied, "Sort of." B. Mark asked, "do you have a savings account, Bonnie?" C. "I keep my money in my bedroom, " Bonnie explained, "in an old shoebox." D. "what do you mean?" Mark asked.

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Ideas?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b?

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Uh not quite. It needs to be capitalized.

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

C. "I keep my money in my bedroom, " Bonnie explained, "in an old shoebox."

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Vera! How many times do I have to tell you?

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

And @jaspersmith was right about it being A. @KyanTheDoodle I thought you were smarter than that! Lol jk ;)

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

I know he's right, but he still shouldn't have been as rude as he was.

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

I'm sure he was just very passionate about making sure students don't get questions wrong lol

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

I don't think I would go as far to say that. He DID give a direct answer, right or not.
