Read the excerpt from "Hansel and Gretel.” Early in the morning, before the children were awake, [the old woman] rose up, and wh

en she saw them both sleeping so peacefully, with their round rosy cheeks, she muttered to herself: "That’ll be a dainty bite.” Then she seized Hansel with her bony hand and carried him into a little stable, and barred the door on him; he might scream as much as he liked, it did him no good. Then she went to Gretel, shook her till she awoke, and cried: "Get up, you lazy-bones, fetch water and cook something for your brother. When he’s fat I’ll eat him up.” Gretel began to cry bitterly, but it was of no use; she had to do what the wicked witch told her. So the best food was cooked for poor Hansel, but Gretel got nothing but crab-shells. Every morning the old woman hobbled out to the stable and cried: "Hansel, put out your finger, that I may feel if you are getting fat.” But Hansel always stretched out a bone, and the old dame, whose eyes were dim, couldn’t see it, and thinking always it was Hansel’s finger, wondered why he fattened so slowly. When four weeks passed and Hansel still remained thin, she lost patience and determined to wait no longer.

She creates conflict by separating the brother and sister.

Which dialogue is punctuated
Rom4ik [11]

The correct answer is A. The captain said, "But he needn't come round when you are on watch, Mr. Brown."

Explanation

There are many rules for correct writing. One of them states that when quotation marks are used, the period at the end of the sentence must be placed within quotation marks. On the other hand, another grammar rule states that when an introductory sentence is given, it must be separated from the quotation by a comma. According to the above rules, the correct answer is A. because the introductory part "The captain said" is separated from the second part of the sentence using a comma. Also, the second part of the sentence that is between the quotation marks, places the final period within the quotation marks. So the correct answer is A. The captain said, "But he needn't come round when you are on watch, Mr. Brown."
