Question

which sentence is correct? he complained \the package still hasnt arrived yet!\ he complained, \the package still hasnt arrived yet!\ he complained, the package still hasnt arrived yet!

Explanation:

To determine the correct sentence, we analyze punctuation and quotation usage:

1. In the first option, there's no comma after "complained" before the direct quote, which is incorrect punctuation for introducing a direct quotation.
2. The second option uses a comma after "complained" to introduce the direct quote, and the quote is properly enclosed in quotation marks. The content of the quote is also grammatically correct (using "yet" with the present perfect "hasn't arrived" is appropriate here, and the exclamation mark is inside the quotation marks as it belongs to the quoted speech).
3. The third option lacks quotation marks around the direct speech, which is a fundamental error in presenting a direct quote.

Answer:

B. He complained, "The package still hasn't arrived yet!"
