Question 7 • FL-1001040-M/J Language Arts 2 B

Which quotation is correctly punctuated and formatted?

Answer
A
"Doesn't that bird look like it's wearing a red scarf? Dora asked."
B
"Doesn't that bird look like it's wearing a red scarf?" Dora asked.
C
"Doesn't that bird look like it's wearing a red scarf"? Dora asked.
D
"Doesn't that bird look like it's wearing a red scarf?" "Dora asked."

Explanation

The question mark belongs to the words Dora says, so it goes inside the closing quotation mark. “Dora asked” is a dialogue tag, not spoken dialogue, so it follows outside the quotation marks: “Doesn't that bird look like it's wearing a red scarf?” Dora asked. Choice B uses this punctuation correctly.
