Question

When using direct quotations in your writing, which of the following should be placed outside the set of quotation marks?
A. Question mark
B. Period
C. Semicolon
D. Comma

Answer 1

I think it should be C. semicolon, Hope this helped! :)

Answer 2

C. Semicolon. This is often confused with a question mark, but a question mark is only used if the quote it's self is not a question, but a question is being asked...

example:
The fathers question was 'are you alright?'
Who is the author of 'Paper Towns'?
