Question

which sentence is correct? he exclaimed, \lets all go to the movies tonight!\ he exclaimed, \lets all go to the movies tonight!\ he exclaimed, lets all go to the movies tonight!

Explanation:

To determine the correct sentence, we check punctuation and capitalization rules for direct speech:

1. Direct speech requires quotation marks around the spoken words. The third option lacks quotation marks, so it's incorrect.
2. The first word inside the quotation marks (the start of the direct speech) should be capitalized. In the first option, "let's" is not capitalized, so it's incorrect.
3. The second option has proper quotation marks and the first word of the direct speech ("Let's") is capitalized, following the rules.

Answer:

B. He exclaimed, "Let's all go to the movies tonight!" (assuming the second option is labeled B; if the options are labeled differently, adjust the identifier accordingly, but the text of the correct option is "He exclaimed, 'Let's all go to the movies tonight!'")
