Question

When using direct quotations in your writing, which of the following should be placed outside the set of quotation marks?

Answer 1

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'?

Answer 2

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