Answer:

When punctuating direct quotations, use a A. comma after the verb that introduces the quotation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Quotation marks are used to mark the beginning and the end of a direct quotation. Whenever this quoted material in interrupting or introduced in a text, a comma should be used to separate the quotation from the text -or verb that introduces the quotation. For example:

He said, "I don't believe you."
