Question

Which rule would help you punctuate the bold portion of this sentence correctly? “Please Cooper’s dad requested, “go see what the dog is barking at outside.”
A. Question Mark or Exclamation Point Inside Rule
B. Colon or Semicolon Outside Rule
C. Question Mark or Exclamation Point Outside Rule
D. Comma or Period Inside Rule

Answer 1

The answer is D. Because its a simple sentence

Answer 2

Hey there!

Correct answer is D. Comma or Period Inside Rule

A. Question mark or exclamation point inside: those are not really necessary.

B. Colon or semicolon: not, a semicolon would divide the whole sentence and it would be shorten; a colon would work but after requested, when there is already a comma.

C. Question mark or Exclamation Point Outside Rule: would not work, becase it is an very polite and affirmative sentence.

D: A comma or period inside rule: actually, just a comma would work. Please, Cooper's dad requested, go... Cooper's dad requested must be in between commas as it is a vocative.

Hope this helps
