Question

Is the passage of dialogue written correctly or incorrectly? "Did you see any dolphins at the aquarium in Baltimore?" Sam asked. "They were beautiful." replied Brett, "But I wasn't close enough to take good pictures." A. correctly B. incorrectly

Answer 1

It is "B", written incorrectly, because Brett said "They were beautiful." But after that it said "replied Brett." It should not have the period after "They were beautiful" but instead a comma. This would be how it would look if correct: "They were beautiful," replied Brett. "But I wasn't close enough to take good pictures." I hope you understand.
