To identify the correctly punctuated sentence in each group, we need to look at the use of punctuation marks in each option.
A. Mrs. Blount replied Our party will be at 2:00.
In this option, there is no punctuation mark to indicate the direct speech. The sentence should have quotation marks or other proper punctuation.
B. Mrs. Blount replied “Our party will be at 2:00.”
This option uses quotation marks to indicate the direct speech. Quotation marks are commonly used to enclose direct quotations, so this sentence is punctuated correctly.
C. Mrs. Blount replied, “Our party will be at 2:00.”
In this option, a comma is used before the opening quotation mark. This is the correct punctuation pattern when introducing a direct quotation, so this sentence is also punctuated correctly.
D. Mrs. Blount replied, “Our party will be at 2:00”.
Option D is similar to option C but has a difference in the placement of the closing quotation mark. The period (full stop) should be placed inside the closing quotation mark. Therefore, this sentence is not punctuated correctly.
Based on the analysis, the correctly punctuated sentences are options B and C.
