Select the sentence that correctly uses quotation marks.
AlekseyPX

Answer:

C. Ashley asked, "Do we have homework tonight?"

Explanation:

If you start by telling who said it, use a comma and then the first quotation mark.

Punctuation always goes inside the quotation marks if it is a direct quote. If you use an exclamation point of a question mark, do not use a comma.

Dialogue begins with a capitalized word, no matter where in the sentence it begins.
