@Daijaakins,
1B. Did you just say, "Her name is Marcia"?

2. All four incorrect: "Ok," the representative began, "I can do it the new way."

3. Ditto, all four:

"Thank you so much for your support," they said.
"Thank you so much for your support!" they said (shouted?).
"Thank you so much for your support?" they said (responded incredulously?).

4B. Did the baseball player say, "I can do the splits"?

Dai you must also concentrate on caps and spacing. Eg, some nitpickers hereabout (me) will land on "Began," instance 2, supposing you meant to cap it. So a quick edit is always in order; as with "bolded" in instance 3

Well that was half of 'em; forgive Dai but duty calls

You're to be congratulated for your determination

"I guess" usually implies grudging or qualified agreement. Or was he accusing me of guessing my answers, do you think?

As your posting was pretty much in accordance with but much more explicit than mine it's hard to believe Dai'd be irresolute. On this issue we can only hope to hear from him further
