For example, if I want to ask a question that says:
Where is, “You know nothing, Jon Snow”
should I punctuate it as
Where is, “You know nothing, Jon Snow?”
or
Where is, “You know nothing, Jon Snow.”?
or
Where is, “You know nothing, Jon Snow,”?
Answer
In Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS)
6.70 Question marks in relation to surrounding text and punctuation
A question mark should be placed inside quotation marks, parentheses,
or brackets only when it is part of (i.e., applies to) the quoted or
parenthetical matter.The ambassador asked, “Has the Marine Corps been alerted?”
Why was Farragut trembling when he said, “I’m here to open an inquiry”?
If you are writing a lot and need guidance, I’d suggest paying $30/year to get a subscription to the Chicago Manual of Style, including its very useful forum. The headaches caused by not having it are considerable.
