Which quotation is punctuated correctly?

Answer
A
In all his years, Dr. Connors “never understood the power of creative thought”.
B
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a “beacon of hope in an otherwise bleak time”.
C
As the famous musician said “the harmonica is the instrument of poets.”
D
According to President Roosevelt, “The world was at the brink of war.”

Explanation

In standard American punctuation, a period goes inside the closing quotation mark. Choice D also correctly uses a comma after “According to President Roosevelt” to introduce the quotation. In A and B, the period is outside the quotation marks, and C is missing a comma before the quotation.
