Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Correct answer: The final part is incorrect — the word dad should be capitalized as Dad.

Key reason: When a family title is used as a name or direct reference to a specific person, it is treated as a proper noun and must be capitalized.

  • The word Dad is being used in place of a name after the reporting verb, so capitalize it: "...," said Dad.

  • Other parts are correct: "Pull it out by" is grammatically fine; "its plug" correctly uses the possessive pronoun; "cord" is correct. Punctuation errors are to be ignored per the instructions.
