Which of these sentences in DIRECT speech is incorrect?
Answer: D
Correct answer: “When will this match be over? asked a bored spectator.
The closing inverted comma is missing after over?, so the reader cannot tell where the spoken words end. The other three are correctly punctuated: each has its quoted words enclosed, the end punctuation inside the marks, and the reporting clause outside.
