er said: of the veterans “They have had many interesting experiences.” C.My teacher said of the veterans: “They have had many interesting experiences.” D.My teacher said of the veterans “They have had many interesting experiences.”
Answer: The sentence that is written correctly is C. My teacher said of the veterans: “They have had many interesting experiences.”
Explanation: According to APA's citation guidelines, when presenting another person's words, <u>it is necessary to include a colon immediately before the quotation mark that introduces these words. </u>Moreover,<u> in order to cite correctly, the final period should be placed before the final quotation mark</u>. Therefore, the sentence that is written correctly is C. (My teacher said of the veterans: “They have had many interesting experiences.”) since<u> it is the only one that follows these guidelines</u>. In contrast, A. wrongly includes a semicolon before the first quotation mark, B. does not place the colon immediately before the quotation mark, and D. does not include the colon before the quotation mark either.
Answer: In truth, in my opinion it is neither, but since you have only two choices, the most correct answer is A-a boss who is making fun of her employee a nostalgic co-worker. Her tone is wistful and light-she is clearly not angry as she recalls how her co-worker was knocked down by the supers and stung repeatedly. She recalls with fondness this experience.
