Solution

The correct quotation mark rule is A) Do not use quotation marks before and after indirect quotations.

This is because indirect quotations are not the exact words someone said, but rather a paraphrase or summary. Therefore, they do not require quotation marks.

Option B) is incorrect because when a direct quotation is divided into two parts, the second part should begin with a capital letter if it is a new sentence.

Option C) is also incorrect because when a direct quotation consists of more than one sentence, you should use quotation marks at the beginning and end of each sentence, not just at the end of the whole quotation.
