Question 1 • GA-GSE English Language Arts 11

Which quotation is punctuated correctly?

Answer
A
According to Dr. Clemons, “Keats demonstrated a keen sense of delivery”.
B
According to Dr. Clemons, “Keats demonstrated a keen sense of delivery.”
C
“According to Dr. Clemons Keats demonstrated a keen sense of delivery.”

Explanation

In standard American punctuation, a period goes inside the closing quotation mark. Choice B correctly places the period after “delivery” but before the closing quotation mark. Choice A puts the period outside the quotation marks, and choice C is missing a comma after “Dr. Clemons.”
