Answer:
The correct answer is option A) semicolon.
Explanation:
According to the punctuation rules when using the quotation marks:
1. semicolons are always placed outside the final/closing quotation mark. For example: Henry described the new law as "a definite step forward"; others member of the union disagreed.
2. Question mark may be placed outside as well as inside the final/closing quotation marks depending on whether it is a part of the whole senetence or the quotation only.
When the question mark is a part of the quotation then it is placed inside the quotation marks. For example: She asked, "Do you need any help?"
When the question mark is a part of the complete senetence then it is placed outside the quotation marks. For example: Is she in the habit of saying, "Please help me"?
3. Period and Comma are placed inside the final/closing quotation marks. For example:
a) She said, "Please help me."
b) He said, "I like to play chess, cricket, and carrom."
Answer: The correct answer is A) Semicolon.
Explanation: When we use the semicolon mark, it is always placed the outside of the final quotation mark, here are the 3 of the examples from the website:
- The agency reviewed those petitions that were "timely"; it ignored those that were late.
- The agency approved those agreements "having no significant impact on competition"; it refused to enforce those violating the antitrust laws.
- From what I have seen, "colons and semicolons always go outside closing quotation marks"; however, it is a more common practice to use italics for book titles, if that can ease the dilemma!
I hope my answer and my 3 of the examples of the sentence with the semicolon is always placed outside of the final quotation mark helped you with your own English question about the punctuation mark, please mark me as brainliest and have a great day! :D
