Which of the following sentences is written correctly?
A. "Don't stay out too late," My mother said.
B. "I have to leave!" she said.
C. "Were you late to the show," he asked?
D. "It's time to go home." I told him.
"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.
"It's time to go home." I told him - is incorrect. A comma should be placed inside the quotation marks instead of the period.
Therefore, the Correct Answer is B.
