What is the correct way to punctuate the end of this quotation? bin memorized the speech, but when he opened his mouth, all he could say was, “um, i … don’t remember a. ,” b. ,’ c. ” d. "?

The correct answer is C. The sentence is not asking a question, so D is incorrect. B is incorrect because a quotation mark, not an apostrophe, is needed at the end of Bin's words. Finally, A is incorrect because a period is needed at the end of a sentence, not a comma.

When a quotation appears at the end of a sentence, you need both 1) a period to signal the end of the sentence, and 2) a quotation mark to signal the end of the quotation. Therefore, this sentence should read: Bin memorized the speech, but when he opened his mouth, all he could say was, "Um, I...don't remember."
