Passage
On a warm afternoon in Malgudi, the busy market was alive with the sounds of vendors calling out their wares. Swami, a curious boy of ten, wandered through the lanes, his eyes wide with excitement. He stopped at a fruit stall, attracted by the vibrant colours of mangoes and guavas.

“Look, Swami! You can’t just stare. Buy something!” called out his friend, Raj.

Swami hesitated, his pocket was empty except for a few coins saved from his allowance. “I want to buy a mango, but I don’t have enough” he replied with disappointment.

Raj, noticing his friend’s unhappy expression, reached into his pocket and pulled out a shiny coin. “Here, take this! Let’s share the mango.”

Swami’s face lit up. “Thanks, Raj! You are the best!”

As they bought the fruit and sat under a nearby tree, they laughed and talked about their dreams, feeling the warmth of friendship blossom in the afternoon sun.

1, What is the correct sentence?

  • “Hurry up!” shouted the coach.
  • “Hurry up”, shouted the coach.
  • “Hurry up!” shouted the coach.
  • Hurry up!” shouted the coach.

The correct sentences are:

  • “Hurry up!” shouted the coach.
  • “Hurry up!”, shouted the coach. (This option is also correct, following similar comma placement rules to the previous examples, though less common than placing the comma inside a quotation with a period).

The other two options are incorrect due to:

“Hurry up!” shouted the coach. (The comma is missing after “Hurry up!” to separate the quote from the dialogue tag “shouted the coach”).

Hurry up!” shouted the coach. (Missing opening quotation mark).

2, What is the correct sentence?

  • Rani said, “I am coming”.
  • Rani said “I am coming”.
  • Rani said, I am coming.
  • “I am coming”, said Rani.

The correct sentences are:

  • Rani said, “I am coming”.
  • “I am coming,” said Rani.

The other options are incorrect due to punctuation errors:

  • Rani said “I am coming”. This is incorrect because a comma is missing after “said” to introduce the direct quotation.
  • Rani said, I am coming. This is incorrect because quotation marks are missing around the direct speech.
