Answer 1

Answer:

The right way to write this excerpt would be:

When my little-known cousin Tammy -aunt Edna's second daughter- said "That depends on what you mean by 'on time'", I laughed for at least fifteen minutes.

Explanation:

The errors I can see in this excerpt are:

• The word cousin goes without capital letter.
• Aunt, again without capital letter.
• The comma after the word said, and before the quote is wrong.
