Which of the following excerpts is structured correctly?
A: "She wants to go outside . . . and walk the dog." Jesse said.
B: "She wants to go outside," said Jesse. "And walk the dog."
C: "She wants to go outside," Jesse said, "and walk the dog."
D: Jesse said "she wants to go outside, and walk the dog."

My first guess was A but I was incorrect..
OpenStudy (fatemahzahrah):
i think its D
OpenStudy (angiedoesschool2275):
Why would it be D? I would think you have to capitalize the beginning letter in dialogue.

@jabez177
OpenStudy (thewiselord):
Ah, yes @Angiedoesschool2275
OpenStudy (thewiselord):
It would be c
OpenStudy (angiedoesschool2275):
Thanks! Do you mind me asking why it would be C?
OpenStudy (thewiselord):
Even though B looks correct it is not, there is no need for a period after Jesse, because it the two sentences are about the same topic (they share the same idea). So you would just put a coma after Jesse and lowercase the "a" in.
