1- The correct answer is C.

This is the correct answer becase "She wants to go outside and walk the dog" is only one sentence.

If one were to put a stop after "said Jesse," it would imply that the sentence is over. However, by placing a comma after "Jesse said," one is implying that the sentence has not ended yet.

2- The correct answer is C.

The best way to show a pause in the dialogue would be by using a comma to separate the two parts of the sentence.

3- The correct answer is B.

Writers use em dashes (also known as long dashes) to create a strong break in the structure or the sentence.
