    "Don't stay out too late," My mother said - is incorrect. The "m" should be lowercase, not capitalized. 

    "I have to leave!" she said - is correct. This sentence is correctly punctuated. The exclamation mark is placed inside the quotation marks to indicate that she is speaking with excitement.

    "Were you late to the show," he asked - is incorrect. The question mark should be placed inside the quotation marks when it is part of the quoted speech. The correct punctuation would be: "Were you late to the show?" he asked.

    B. Statistics are an interesting subject. However, statistics are often misleading

    C. Statistics is an interesting subject. However, statistics are often misleading

    D. Statistics are an interesting subject. However, statistics is often misleading

    Answer Explanation

    "Statistics is an interesting subject. However, statistics is often misleading."

    In this sentence, both the subject "Statistics" and the verb "is" are in agreement, as they are both singular. The subject-verb agreement rule states that singular subjects should be paired with singular verbs, and plural subjects should be paired with plural verbs. "Statistics" is a singular noun, so it should be paired with the singular verb "is." The other choices have subject-verb agreement errors because they mix singular and plural forms incorrectly.
