Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 3.154 Commas and Quotation Marks in Dialogue skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

At the reading festival, Selene described her short story.

Select the option that uses quotation marks correctly in dialogue.

A"My story is titled 'Hidden Path'. Then I wrote a summary." Selene said.

B"My story is titled 'Hidden Path.' Then I wrote a summary," Selene said.

C"My story is titled 'Hidden Path.' Then I wrote a summary" Selene said.

D"My story is titled Hidden Path. Then I wrote a summary," Selene said.

Solution & Explanation:The book (or chapter) title can be put in single quotes inside the dialogue. Because a dialogue tag follows the whole quote, the last punctuation of the quote is a comma inside the closing quotation marks.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

During filming, Nora and Felix practiced the scene again.

Which sentence is written correctly?

A"Wait for my signal," Nora said.

B"Is the signal the word 'action'?" Felix asked.

C"Wait for my signal" Nora said.

D"Is the signal the word 'action'?" Felix asked.

E"Wait for my signal," Nora said.

F"Is the signal the word 'action'," Felix asked.

G"Wait for my signal," Nora said.

H"Is the signal the word action?" Felix asked.

Solution & Explanation:Use quotation marks for each speaker. Keep the comma inside quotes before a dialogue tag for statements, and keep the question mark inside quotes for questions.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

At the community center, Esme corrected the flyer.

Choose the best punctuated version of the dialogue.

A"The flyer should say 'free'" Esme said, "because the event costs nothing."

B"The flyer should say 'free,'" Esme said, "because the event costs nothing."

C"The flyer should say 'free,'" Esme said "because the event costs nothing."

D"The flyer should say 'free,'" Esme said, "Because the event costs nothing."

Solution & Explanation:Use commas to set off the dialogue tag in the middle of one sentence. The comma after the quoted word belongs inside the single quotation marks, and the second part stays lowercase because the sentence continues.
