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.

Three astronauts are stranded on a world populated by a rational but war-like people. The leader decides
Maru [420]

We can actually deduce here that the astronaut that raised his hand actually said that the colour of the feather placed on his helmet was blue and going further to give a logical explanation, he explained that this is because the sky of the planet where they are is blue.

<h3>What is logical explanation?</h3>

Logical explanation actually refers to the explanation that is given using logic and what everyone sees and knows. In logical reasoning, one speaks based on what he/she knows or acquires from reasoning or thinking through.

We see here that logically thinking, the helmet placed on their heads actually denoted sky and the blue feather denotes the colour of the sky. Remember they were told not to look up. That means what we are looking for is up which is the sky.

Thus, we can say here that the colour of the feather placed on his helmet is blue and it actually talks about the colour of their planet.
