In which sentence is the punctuation correct a marge said train just leaving bmarge c thetrain dmarge leaving?

The correct sentence is b) "Marge said, 'The train is just leaving.'"

Here's why:

* a) marge said train just leaving: This sentence is missing commas and quotation marks, making it unclear who is speaking and what is being said.

* c) thetrain: This is not a sentence. It's just a word.

* d) marge leaving: This is a phrase, not a complete sentence. It also lacks punctuation.

Option b) correctly uses:

* Quotation marks to indicate the words spoken by Marge.

* A comma after "said" to separate the speaker from the speech.

* An apostrophe to show the contraction "is" in "is just leaving."
