Question

1. which sentence correctly places the question mark according to the lesson rules?

did he really say, \im tired\?
\did he really say\, im tired?
\did he really say?\ im tired.
did he really say? \im tired.\

Explanation:

To determine the correct placement of the question mark, we analyze the structure of each option. The main question is "Did he really say..." with the quoted content "I'm tired" (a statement). In direct speech, when the main sentence is a question and the quote is a statement, the question mark goes outside the quotation marks of the statement. Option 1: "Did he really say, 'I'm tired'?" follows this rule. Option 2 has incorrect punctuation in the quote structure. Option 3 turns the quote into a question incorrectly. Option 4 misplaces the question mark as the quote is a statement.

Answer:

A. Did he really say, "I'm tired"?
