It's not B. It doesn't have quotation marks.
Not C because the first word in the quotations needs to be capitalized.
Not D because the quotation need to surround the statement.
So your answer is A :)
Hope this helped :)
Some details that the text show that the excerpt was written in the past and not the present is, the story uses a lot of had and was which could be a huge clue that the text was written in the past sense its using past tense vocabulary. for example, in the excerpt it talks about how the children had a kind and merry housemaid. If it was present tense then the sentence would be, they have a kind and merry housemaid because it would mean that the house maid is with them right now and if it was future tense then it would be they will have a kind and merry housemaid because they don't have the maid yet and you would be using future tense words to indicate it hasn't happened yet. I hope this makes sense and helps.
In your 300 word writing you can include the following characteristics of Odeipus:
- He is a hardworker, especially what has to do with his city
- He saves the city from the threath of the Sphinx
- He investigates the King's murder and also he leaves the city because he has comitted a crime
- He is very rash in his decisions and he quickly jumps into conclussions
- He marries someone who is the same age of his mother
- Because if his way of living he pokes his own eyes
Odeipus is hugely confident and he said something to proof that : <span>Here I am myself— you all know me, the world knows my fame: I am Oedipus</span>
