D."Can you see enough to tell," He mused, "how far away the shore is?"

Well, we need to capitalize the first word of every sentence, so it isn't C

sammixboo (sammixboo):

And since you aren't starting a new sentence, you don't need to capitalize the second dialogue fragment

sammixboo (sammixboo):

So what do you think the answer is?

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

D?

@sammixboo

sammixboo (sammixboo):

You wouldn't capitalize 'he' either, because ou aren't starting a new sentence, and it isn't a name.

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

Oh I didn't see that, it is b then

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Correct, and I didn't notice that either when I first read the choices.
