Where, the context is missing, the result of understanding phrases becomes a mere guesswork.
(A) Mrs. Applegate said that she doubted whether it would be available.
Sentence A is correct because Mrs. Applegate's words are being paraphrased. Using the word "that" to connect the dialogue tag "Mrs. Applegate said" with "she doubted whether it would be available" indicates to us that what she said is a paraphrase. Also, we can assume Mrs. Applegate would not be talking about herself in the third person by using the pronoun "she". This is a further indication that her exact words were NOT "that she doubted it would be available."
If Mrs. Applegate had actually said "that she doubted it would be available." The correctly punctuated sentence is D. There is a comma after the dialogue tag. The first word of the dialogue should be capitalized, and the entire dialogue must be in quotations, including the period at the end of the sentence.

Sentence structures could be simple (one independent clause), compound (two independent clause with coordinating conjunction), complex (a subordinate & independent clause) and compound-complex sentences (subordinate & two independent clause). These include clauses, conjunctions, coherence and balance and even to the number of words you use in your subject and predicate. You must also see to it that when you do parallelism, your sentences still makes sense.</span>
