Question

Which situation requires that you place a comma (instead of a colon) between introductory text and a direct quote?

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Explanation:

C and d don't make sense.

B could be many things like 'that' or 'said' or 'in the words of'.  Looks like reported speech but not just for ''that'',

A - would be a short phrase and the direct speech.

In the words of Oscar Wilde, ''This wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death.  Either it goes or I do.''
