Academic texts are formal, based on facts and evidence and always contain citations. Non-academic texts, on the other hand, are writings that are informal and dedicated to a lay audience. They are usually on general topics and use casual or colloquial language, and may contain the writer's personal opinions.
The punctuation mark that should be placed after the close quotation mark is a period. A period is used at the end of the sentence to indicate where the sentence fully stops. In the example given above, it is made up of two complete sentences with different thoughts each. Therefore, it should be written like this: I understand that "time is of the essence". I just need to find my keys so we can leave!
I would say C. “was”. It’s definitely not “am”, because that just sounds completely wrong. It’s not “are” because that sounds a bit wrong, too. It can’t be “were” because it’s only referring to one group, not many groups. The only answer it could be is C.
