D.

Answer 1

The sentence that is punctuated correctly is: He wrote a quick note: "Wed., Sept. 18, Ryan's first game." Notice that the words "Wed." and "Sept." have periods at the end. These periods indicate that these words are contractions or shortened forms of the original words. Words like these should always have a period at the end of them.
