I’d say:
I had a hard time deciding whether to write an essay about the works of “Eudora Welty, Joan Didion, Gwendolyn Brooks” because the rest of the punctuations doesn’t make sense.

C. "While you finish your chores," said my older brother, "I will help fix your video game."
There there needs to be the comma inside of the quotation marks at the end of the sentence, yet the comma outside of the quotation marks when it is at the beginning of the phrase. There should also be quotation marks in front of the next quotation.
