Understanding Dialogue Punctuation
When punctuating dialogue, it is essential to correctly use quotation marks, exclamation marks, and commas. The dialogue itself conveys the tone and emotion of the speaker, while the punctuation clarifies the speaker's intent.
Analysis of Option A
- Correct Form:
- "I like ice cream!" Sarah exclaimed.
- Exclamation Mark:
- The exclamation mark indicates excitement or enthusiasm, which fits the context of someone expressing their enjoyment of ice cream.
- Attribution:
- "Sarah exclaimed" appropriately follows the dialogue and uses a lowercase "exclaimed," as it is not the start of a new sentence.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect
- Option B:
- "I like ice cream?" Sarah exclaimed!
- Here, the question mark is inappropriate because the statement is not a question. The exclamation point should follow "exclaimed," not a question mark.
- Option C:
- "I like ice cream," Sarah exclaimed.
- This option incorrectly uses a comma instead of an exclamation mark. The excitement of the statement warrants an exclamation mark.
- Option D:
- "I like ice cream!" Sarah Exclaimed.
- The word "Exclaimed" should be in lowercase following a dialogue, as it is a continuation of the same sentence.
Conclusion
In summary, the correct dialogue punctuation for expressing enthusiasm is found in Option A. Proper punctuation enhances clarity and conveys the speaker's emotions accurately.

Correctly Punctuated Dialogue Explanation:
Explanation:
The correctly punctuated dialogue is option A.
Reasoning:
In option A, the dialogue is punctuated correctly with the quotation marks placed properly around the spoken words and the attributive tag. The exclamation mark is also correctly placed inside the quotation marks following the spoken words.
In options B and C, there are errors in the placement of the punctuation marks. In option B, there should be an exclamation mark instead of a question mark after "We won" to indicate excitement. In option C, the exclamation mark should be placed inside the quotation marks following "I can't believe it" to show that the speaker is shouting.
In option D, the exclamation mark should be placed inside the quotation marks following "We won" to show excitement.
Therefore, option A is the correctly punctuated dialogue.
