Answer:
The answer to the question: Which two parts of the passage are punctuated correctly, would be: paragraph 3 and paragraph 4.
Explanation:
There are several reasons why only paragraphs 3 and 4 are correctly punctuated. This excerpt shows the speech given by someone to another person, or to a group of people, but the person is addressing a particular person, with a particular issue. In paragraph 1, the problem lies in the correct use of commas, periods, and other such punctuation marks that are necessary, especially if after an affirmation, you are questioning someone. In the second paragraph, the error comes from the incorrect use of quotation marks, rather the lack of them, when you are quoting another person. However, in the third paragraph, both punctuation marks, and particularly quotations, are being correctly used, as well as the necessary colon use to divide the statement portion, from the question portion in the text. In the last paragraph, both the quotation marks and the colon punctuation is correctly use to make the reader understand that the speaker is using someone else´s idea and not his own. This is why the answer is 3 and 4.
