Select the correctly punctuated sentence:

Question

A) He said, "There but for the grace of God go I."
B) He said "There but for the grace of God go I."
C) He said, "There but for the grace of God go I".
D) He said "There but for the grace of God go I".
My answer is A but I think B would work not sure if a punctuation is need here: "He said,"

Answer 1

A is correct.

A comma is needed after said.
