      sentence. She exclaimed with wonder that it was a wonderful piece of art.
      A She said, "It was a wonderful piece of art." Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      C She said, "Wow! What a wonderful piece of art." Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D She said, "Alas! A wonderful piece of art." Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The general rules of direct speech are:

      • Each new character's speech starts on a new line.
      • Speech is opened with speech marks.
      • Each line of speech starts with a capital.
      • The line of speech ends with a comma, exclamation mark or question mark.
      • A reporting clause is used at the end (said Jane, shouted Paul, replied Mum).
      So this is the right option.
