Q #9: Which of the following sentences follows the rules of punctuation and capitalization?
A. “I loved that show,” He said. “It’s my favorite of the year.”
B. “I loved that show,” he said. “It’s my favorite of the year.”
C. “I loved that show.” he said. “It’s my favorite of the year.”
D. “I loved that show,” he said: “it’s my favorite of the year.”
Answer Explanation
Choice A: “I loved that show,” He said. “It’s my favorite of the year.”
In this choice, there is incorrect capitalization of "He" after the comma. Pronouns following dialogue should start with a lowercase letter unless they are proper nouns.
Choice C: “I loved that show.” he said. “It’s my favorite of the year.”
In this choice, there is incorrect punctuation after "show." There should be a comma after "show" to indicate that the dialogue tag "he said" is connected to the dialogue.
Choice D: “I loved that show,” he said: “it’s my favorite of the year.”
In this choice, a colon is used after "he said," which is not the correct punctuation for dialogue. A comma is typically used in this context to separate the dialogue from the dialogue tag.
So, Choice B is the only one that correctly follows the rules of punctuation and capitalization for dialogue.
