Answer: 2. "Thunder is good," said Mark Twain, "but it is lightning that does the work."
Explanation: the correct answer is the second option because first, it has a comma before and after "said Mark Twain", which is correct because when we use quotation marks and we want to add information (like who said it) between two phrases, we need to put it between two commas. The other that makes this option correct is that "but" doesn't begin with a capital letter, this is correct because it is a continuation of the first quote, it shouldn't begin in a capital letter.

Explanation:
One of the problems noted by John Steinbeck during his roadtrip was precisely that his fame made it almost impossible to move about and to know America at a personal level because he was widely recognized.
Steinbeck travelled with Charley, his wife's 10-year-old French poodle, which he decided to bring with him at the last minute.
In this travelogue, Steinbeck provides descriptions of gorgeous landscapes of America, the country he devoted to know on a personal level. The use of these descriptive elements presents the reader with an unusual sight that keeps him or her engaged with the book.
