Which of the following sentences is correctly punctuated?

  1. "I want an ice-cream"

  2. I want an ice-cream

  3. "I want an ice-cream

  4. I want an ice-cream"

The correct answer is: "I want an ice-cream"

By placing quotation marks at the beginning and end of the sentence and correctly using a period for punctuation, option A is the only correctly punctuated sentence. Option B is missing quotes, which would be necessary if quoting someone saying "I want an ice-cream." Option C is missing a closing quotation mark. Option D incorrectly places the period inside the quotation marks, which is only necessary when the period is part of the quoted text.
