🆕 New Concept Discovered: Quotation Marks for Direct Speech
Using quotation marks to show exact spoken words.

Step 1: Identify the purpose of quotation marks in each sentence

Quotation marks can be used for different purposes, such as indicating direct speech (repeating someone's exact words) or highlighting titles of short works (like songs, essays, or names of businesses in some contexts).

Let's look at the three sentences in the passage:

1. Sentence 1: "The grand opening of my bakery is next week," exclaimed Beth.

• Here, the quotation marks enclose the exact words spoken by Beth. This is direct speech.

1. Sentence 2: The bakery is called Let Them Eat Cookies.

• This sentence does not contain any quotation marks.

1. Sentence 3: "We have a lot more than cookies, but I just loved that name," she explained.

• Here, the quotation marks enclose the exact words spoken by the speaker ("she"). This is also direct speech.

Step 2: Select the two sentences that repeat someone's words

Based on our analysis, the two sentences that use quotation marks to show direct speech are:

• "The grand opening of my bakery is next week," exclaimed Beth.
• "We have a lot more than cookies, but I just loved that name," she explained.

1. "The grand opening of my bakery is next week," exclaimed Beth.
