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.
