Which sentence uses correct punctuation: “I am so sorry that you are not feeling well” said Mrs. Smith, “If we hurry, we won’t miss the bus,” urged Mom, or Brian said “Please don’t forget to buy soda”?

The sentence that uses correct punctuation is: Brian said, "Please don't forget to buy soda."

To determine the correct punctuation, let's analyze the three options:

Option 1: "I am so sorry that you are not feeling well," said Mrs. Smith, "If we hurry, we won't miss the bus," urged Mom.
This sentence is incorrect because it does not have any punctuation after "well" and "bus." In a dialogue, each person's spoken words should be enclosed within quotation marks. Additionally, a comma should be placed before the closing quotation mark.

Option 2: "I am so sorry that you are not feeling well," said Mrs. Smith, "If we hurry, we won't miss the bus," urged Mom.
This sentence is also incorrect because it does not have any punctuation after "well" and "bus." Similar to the previous option, each person's spoken words should be enclosed within quotation marks, and a comma should be placed before the closing quotation mark.

Option 3: Brian said, "Please don't forget to buy soda."
This sentence is the correct option as it follows the rules of punctuation. There is a comma after "said" to separate the reporting clause from the quoted speech. The spoken words of Brian are enclosed within quotation marks, and there is proper punctuation within the statement.

Thus, the correct sentence with proper punctuation is: Brian said, "Please don't forget to buy soda."
