Explanation:

Question #7

An argumentative essay presents a claim and supports it with evidence. It takes a stance. An informational essay just presents facts without taking a side.

Question #8

In correct dialogue formatting, the spoken words should be in quotation marks and the punctuation is inside the quotation marks for a complete sentence. Also, a comma usually precedes the start of the quoted speech when it's part of a larger sentence structure.

Answer:

Question #7

A. Argumentative

Question #8

B. Mrs. Johnson looked around and asked, "Does anyone have questions?"
