Step-by-step solution for: Quotation Marks exercise
To solve this problem, we need to add quotation marks and punctuation to the sentences. Here are the rules we will use:

2. Question Mark (?): Since everyone in these sentences is "asking" something, put a question mark at the end of their spoken words, but *inside* the closing quotation mark.
