A. Question Mark or Excpamation Mark inside rule

Answer 2

Answer:

A. Question Mark or Exclamation Point Inside Rule.

Explanation:

This is the rule that would most help you punctuate this sentence. In this sentence, we learn that a man is screaming. When someone screams, we show this in the text by using an exclamation mark. Moreover, because we are quoting something a person said, the statement should be placed between quotation marks. This rule would help us know that the exclamation point needs to be placed inside the quotation marks.
