Answer 1

In English, periods and question marks used in dialogue should be placed **inside the closing quotation marks** if they are part of the quoted material. If the punctuation is not part of the quoted material but is necessary for the sentence as a whole, then it can go outside. However, for clarity's sake, the general rule is to place them inside for the quoted dialogue itself.
