Answer 8

It can't be A or D because they do not lead into a signaling phrase

Answer 9

Aha C

Answer 10

A signaling phrase is a sentence that leads into a quotation

Answer 11

I believe B is the best answer as it introduces the speaker and uses the transition word `says`

A does not include a transition word, and C only concludes a sentence changing the idea
