Question

1. which sentence demonstrates the correct punctuation of dialogue? do you really believe we can make it in time? he asked. stop emma shouted youre about to step on a snake! well figure this out, alex said but we need to stay calm. i dont think riley said that splitting up is a good idea.

Explanation:

In dialogue punctuation, when a dialogue tag (like "he asked", "Emma shouted") interrupts the dialogue, commas are used to set off the tag. Also, the end - punctuation of the dialogue (question mark, exclamation point, period) should be inside the closing quotation marks. In the first option, the question mark is inside the quotation marks and the dialogue is properly set off from the tag. The second option lacks commas around the dialogue tag. The third and fourth options also lack proper comma placement around the dialogue tags.

Answer:

"Do you really believe we can make it in time?" he asked.
