Question

Which statement about quotation marks is true?

I. Quotation marks set apart short quotations.
II. Typically, a direct quotation requires three quotation marks.
III. Commas used to introduce short quotations appear outside the quotation marks.

Answer 1

Hello! I found the choices for this one from another source. They are:
A. II only
B. I and II
C.II and III
D. I and III

Out of the three given statements about quotation marks, only the first and third statements are true.

You use quotation marks to identify short quotations. Quotations that are longer than three/four lines have their own indented formatting and doesn't require the marks to separate them anymore.

Also, commas that introduce quotations are never inside quotation marks, since they are not part of the original quoted text anyway.

ANSWER: D. I and III
