Answer 2

The punctuated sentence is written below.

Explanation:

"Your son is certainly a boy of ability", said the headmaster. "What an extraordinary statement!" said the father.

• These statements imply that the headmaster is talking to the father of a student.
• He is telling the father that his son is a boy of ability.
• This statement makes the father happy and he exclaims with joy  about what an extraordinary statement the headmaster made.
• As there are direct dialogues in the statements, we use inverted commas to enclose them and separate them from the remaining sentence.
• We use periods/full-stops at the end of each sentence indicating that the sentence is ending and a new sentence is beginning.
• We ensure to write the starting letter of every sentence in its capital form.
• Spaces must be given between the sentences and the commas.
