Answer

Brief Explanations:

In dialogue writing, the spoken words should be enclosed in quotation marks. Also, the punctuation mark (like a period or a question - mark) should be inside the closing quotation mark. The tag (who is speaking) should be separated from the spoken words by proper punctuation. For the first set, the correct one has proper punctuation with the period inside the quotes and correct separation of the tag. For the second set, the correct one has the question - mark inside the quotes and proper capitalization at the start of the quoted sentence.

Answer:

  1. "I didn't think it would matter this much," Jordan said with a shrug.
  2. Maya stared at him, "You seriously brought a goat to the meeting?"
