Answer: The sentence that is written correctly is C. My teacher said of the veterans: “They have had many interesting experiences.”
Explanation: According to APA's citation guidelines, when presenting another person's words, it is necessary to include a colon immediately before the quotation mark that introduces these words. Moreover, in order to cite correctly, the final period should be placed before the final quotation mark. Therefore, the sentence that is written correctly is C. (My teacher said of the veterans: “They have had many interesting experiences.”) since it is the only one that follows these guidelines. In contrast, A. wrongly includes a semicolon before the first quotation mark, B. does not place the colon immediately before the quotation mark, and D. does not include the colon before the quotation mark either.
