Hey there!
Let's say I was to quote a book by Cardinal Cardigan I've read for an essay. (This isn't an actual book, just an example). The book contains the following sentence:
The reason that flowers are so beautiful is that they come in a variety of colors and scents that are appealing to many people.
In order to quote this, I would use the following formatting:
"The reason that flowers are so beautiful," states Cardigan, "is that they come in a variety of colors and scents that are appealing to many people."
Using this, your answer will be your first option.
Hope this helped you out! :-)
Alexander was inconsolable, not only grieving over the untimely death of his son, but also blaming himself. At Philip's funeral, he was so distraught that friends needed to support him physically at the grave
The summary but it doesn't give away the ending
It is a fragment because a run on, is something that keeps on going and wont stop and won't put like a period to stop it, which is such as a long sentence.
