• The given sentence has been written in direct speech, i.e. the exact words of the speaker have been quoted.
• The sentence is an exclamatory sentence, hence we must use an exclamation mark also.
• To quote the exact works of the sentence, we have to use double inverted commas and write the first letter of the first word in capital.

Answer 2

Use the correct punctuation mark to the following sentence :

Shristi said what a pretty face it is

Answer:

Shristi said, ''what a pretty face it is!''

The given sentence is direct speech.

In Direct speech, we repeat the exact words by the speaker. Reporting speech is placed between inverted commas. For example, He said, "I have lost my pen".

The given sentence is an exclamatory sentence.

An  exclamatory sentence expresses strong or sudden feelings. It always ends with an exclamation mark ''!''.
