Answer
Brief Explanations:
- For the first question:
- In option A, the dash is incorrect for dialogue formatting.
- In option B, the quotation marks are misplaced (should enclose the spoken words only).
- In option C, “Help Me” has incorrect capitalization (only the first word of a quoted sentence should be capitalized if it's a new sentence).
- Option D follows the correct dialogue formatting rules (quotation marks around the spoken words, correct capitalization).
- For the second question:
- The rising action in a story develops the conflict. The beginning of a story often starts the conflict (exposition or inciting incident), and the conclusion of the story concludes the conflict (resolution).
Answer:
- First question: D. Roman said, “Help Me!”
- Second question: A. Develops the conflict
