Answer:

The option that is correctly punctuated is:

2 The doctor said, "I have been checking a lot of patients since morning. So, I am very tired now."

Explanation:

<u>When using direct speech, we must place a comma right before quoting what the person said, commonly after the verb "say". For that reason, we can eliminate options 1 and 4, since they do not have a comma after 'The doctor said.'</u>

<u>We are left with options 2 and 3. Now, we must look at the sentence inside that quotation marks. In number 3, the sentence has no punctuation excerpt for a period at the end. However, when "so" is used as a conjunction, we should at least place a comma before it. For that reason, we should choose number 2.</u>

NOTE: Number 2 does not present the best punctuation for the use of "so" as a subordinating conjunction. If you typed number 3 properly, then the answer is really number 2. However, if you forgot the place a comma when typing number 3 but it actually has it, then the correct option should be number 3. Please, check the original worksheet or site where you found this question.

Svetllana [295]
<span>Dear J.K. Rowling I really appreciated your book "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince". The serious tone Harry uses when speaking truly underlines dire times felt within the wizarding world. I could never find the right words to use when setting my plot, but I was truly inspired by your use of diction to control the tempo of a long narrative. This tempo control ran throughout the text, emotionally tying specific plot devices to the perspective of a character and framing their state of being. In conclusion, I hope my writing can glimpse a shadow of your craft. When I write in first person, as you did with Harry, I often now compare my use of language to your descriptive tendencies and search for improvements. Not writing extremely long sentences, or using out of character phrasing, but instead giving just enough detail to paint a vivid picture. If this gets to you, I hope you can write me back, I've attatched a pdf of a recent poem and hope you can give me some notes. Thank you, Sincerly...</span>
