Then I would say 16 is D, 17 is C, and 18 B? I am not to sure.
Answered by Ms. Sue
16. D isn't right either. We don't use a comma and a question mark at the end of this quotation.

17. Same as my last comment.

18. The period goes inside the quotation marks.

Answers:
16. C
17. B
18. A

Answered by Lily
Actually, the correct answer for 18 is D. The period is in the correct place, unlike the others. So A would be incorrect, as the ? would me inside the quotation marks.
