Question 1 • CA-Common Core English 11 A-CR - VHS

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, periods and commas go inside closing quotation marks. Choice D correctly places the period inside the quotation marks, and the comma after “According to President Roosevelt” introduces the quotation. Choices A and B place the period outside the quotation marks, while C is missing a comma before the quotation.
