Answer:

The 2nd option -

"I kiss your hand, miss," said Mr. Lorry, with the manners of an earlier date, as he made his formal bow again, and took his seat.

Explanation:

You would use commas at the end of a quote instead of periods or anything else during the dialogue of the story.

There are exceptions to this rule though. If you are following the dialogue with an action and not a dialogue tag, then you use periods.

Additionally, you can also end with a period if there is an action between TWO separate statements.

There are a few other cases like using a en-dash if you're interrupting a sentence with dialogue and using open quotation marks for long pieces of dialogue, but for the most part, you use commas to end your dialogue.

Take care and have a lovely rest of your day! :)

First,If something happened like for ex.I might get lost and if i don't have my phone i will be lost and there might be a tragety. There are also a lot of strangers that could be armed and if no one wants to help me i might die.You would not want me to die.

Next,I might forget something then i will get in trouble and then you might get mad.I don't want you to be mad at me.Then i might forget something for a test and i will fail it.I would probably stay back.In conclusion,you should give me my phone back.

Finally,I will aggravate you and this would be bad for your health.I would not stop bugging you until you give me my phone back.This means that if something did happen i would not be able to get my phone because you took it and i will not disobey your rules.In,conclusion,your health will be at stake if you don't give me my phone back.

You should give me my phone back because there might be some sort of emergency and i would be able to help.This means that there will not be anything happening.This means that i will wont bother you a whole lot.
