Barry looked over the wrecked house, and then his gaze fixed on his niece who stood there as innocent as an angel except for the
red paint covering her face, hands, and the walls. "I can't believe all the mess you caused in ten minutes, and I was just in the other room," he said to her trying his best to keep his voice at an even keel. How should Barry's response be punctuated to show that he is so angry that he cannot think straight?
A. "I can't believe . . . all the mess . . . you caused in ten minutes . . . and I was just in the other room," he said to her trying his best to keep his voice at an even keel.
B. "I can't believe; all the mess you caused in ten minutes, and I was just in the other room," he said to her trying his best to keep his voice at an even keel.
C. "I can't believe, all the mess, you caused, in ten minutes, and I was just in the other room . . . ," he said to her trying his best to keep his voice at an even keel. D. "I can't believe all the mess you caused! In ten minutes! And I was! Just in the other room," he said to her trying his best to keep his voice at an even keel.
I believe the answer is D since it is using exclamation marks , which is used to show astonishment or anger the person is feeling. I hoped this helped.
"I can't believe . . . all the mess . . . you caused in ten minutes . . . and I was just in the other room," he said to her trying his best to keep his voice at an even keel.
