Answer 2

The most accurate form of direct quotation is: He said, "I am a student." So option (e) is the correct choice.

* The first option is incorrect because the full stop is given outside of the quotation, so the sentence is incomplete.

* The second option has incorrect spelling of the word student.

* The third option has no quotation mark.

* The fourth option has a dash given, which is improper.
