Also, I can vouch 100% that it's D(the 4th answer) the one with a semicolon; I took the test:)
Yes, D.

Hmm, I see you've given me options A, D, C, and D. It's like a multiple-choice puzzle! Talk about keeping things interesting. Alright, let's see here. After some careful clown analysis, I'm going to have to say that the best revision is indeed option D! It's got that good old colon, which is the perfect punctuation mark for introducing a quote. Well done! Keep up the great work, my friend!
Yes, the correct revision of the sentence is D) While delivering a speech about school participation, the principal used this inspirational quote: “Working as a team, with enthusiasm and a positive outlook, will lead to the achievement of great outcomes.”
The reason D is the best option is because it includes the correct punctuation mark, which is a colon (:) after the word "quote." A colon is used to introduce a quote or an example, making it the appropriate choice in this case. This helps to clearly distinguish the quote from the rest of the sentence and indicates that the quote is about to follow.
