Answer:
At this point in the story, Scout is getting fed up with Jem's antics, and when she stands up to him she's disappointed to see Dill side with him and not her. This leaves Scout isolated from the group as they continue to get into mischief without her, plotting and playing alone in the treehouse and forbidding her to join. She's particularly upset by Dill's behavior, as prior that summer he had asked her to marry him, yet now he seems to have no interest in what she's doing or has to say. Dill and Jem have only grown closer, and in doing so they've pushed Scout out of the group.

1. The correct answer is A. Melissa said that she would never go on a cruise.
B is incorrect because the question mark has to be inside the quotation marks, not outside of it. C is incorrect because there has to be a comma after the word <em>replied, </em>and there is none. This leaves us with sentence A, which is the correct answer here - it is the correct reported speech.
2. The correct answer is B. Li promised to cut back but asked, “Can I have one soft drink at dinner?”
A is incorrect because you don't need quotation marks for this, or you would have to delete the word <em>to </em>and add a comma, leaving quotation marks in order for this sentence to be correct. C is incorrect because the word <em>sure </em>also has to be inside quotation marks. Therefore, the correct option is B.
