A music journalist is finalizing an interview transcript. Select ALL the sentences that correctly apply either US or UK rules for formatting nested quotes and ending periods.
The correct answers are He said, "My best song is 'Yesterday.'" (US style) and He said, 'My best song is "Yesterday"'. (UK style).
This question combines two rules!
American style uses double quotes for the outside and single for the inside, and tucks the period safely inside all the quotation marks at the end.
British style uses single quotes for the outside and double for the inside. Because the period belongs to the whole sentence (not the song title), it is placed outside all the quotation marks.
