Question

which sentence is written correctly?
zev exclaimed when he opened the door, \welcome to my home!\
zev exclaimed when he opened the door, \welcome to my home!\
zev exclaimed when he opened the door, \welcome to my home!\
zev exclaimed when he opened the door, \welcome to my home!\

Explanation:

1. In the first option, "To" and "My" and "Home" are incorrectly capitalized (only the first word of a direct quote and proper nouns need capitalization here).
2. In the second option, "Door" is incorrectly capitalized (it is not a proper noun or the start of a sentence).
3. In the fourth option, the first word of the direct quote "welcome" is not capitalized, which is a rule for starting a quoted sentence.
4. The third option follows all rules: common nouns are lowercase, only the first word of the direct quote is capitalized, and punctuation is correctly placed.

Answer:

Zev exclaimed when he opened the door, "Welcome to my home!"
