I think 16 is B, I think 17 is A, And I think 18 is D...?
16. C
17. A
18. D
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.

The answer for number 16 is B- “ we’re going to volunteer at the animal shelter said Dan do you want to come ?”
The period is perfectly fine for the record. it's dialogue.

Then I would say 16 is D, 17 is C, and 18 B? I am not to sure.
