Question

In which of the following lines of a dialogue are quotation marks used correctly?

A. "Look out!" she said "The rope is about to break!"
B. Look out!" she said, "The rope is about to break!
C. "Look out!" she said, "The rope is about to break!"
D. "Look out! she said, The rope is about to break!"

Answer 1

The correct answer is C, because there has to be a comma after 'she said', but also there have to be quotation marks for 'the rope is about to break!' on each side.
