C?

Miracrown (miracrown):

Tell me what you think

jabez177 (jabez177):

C?

Miracrown (miracrown):

What made you think its C and not the others?

jabez177 (jabez177):

Because the rest are supposed to have a comma before the quotation marks?

jabez177 (jabez177):

Miracrown (miracrown):

I would say so, yes. Because "a nineteenth-century impressionist artist" is not needed, and thus surrounded by commas.

Miracrown (miracrown):

Also, the period goes inside the " " and they have done so.

Sorry if I'm dis-leading you from your studies. I just have finals that's why I have a lot of questions. I'd really appreciate your help... So C is the accurate answer?

Miracrown (miracrown):

I believe so, yes. You have explained the reason that A is incorrect, and you seem to indicate that b and d are incorrect as well.
