Which sentence is punctuated correctly? a)"where have you been? "ronald asked. b)"boy," darren replied, "you weren't kidding." c)"i visit my grandmother at the nursing home," said juanita "at least once a week" d) fred asked, " do you have an extra pencil, adam? "

The reason that "A" is wrong is because it is missing a comma in between > been?"< and >Ronald. Remember a " , " always comes after something surrounded by if the text ends inside the quote and doesn't continue after stating who said it.

"B" is incorrect due to the number of comma's. You do not put a comma after: She said<>He said<> the man replied<> I thought or anything along those lines.

"D" is incorrect in multiple ways, including capitalization. The one reason we can strike it out is the same as "B", with a comma after Fred asked.

Now after all of that said, the only answer left without any noticeable strikes against it is "C".

just to , the answer is b on edge
