Answer 1

Quotation marks are used around a quotation. They indicate that the words contained within them are spoken or written by someone else. For example:

She said, “I will be there soon.”

Exclamation marks and semicolons are not used specifically for quotations, and a period is used to end a sentence but is typically placed inside the closing quotation marks if the quoted material is a complete sentence.
