Question:

Which of the following is an example of a correctly punctuated sentence?

A “What would you prefer to do on vacation – visit a museum or go on a walking tour?” asked my father.
explanation

When a question mark or exclamation point is part of a quotation, then it should stay inside the quotation marks. The quotation in this example is a question, so the question mark should stay inside the quotation marks. There is no need to have a comma following the question mark. In this context, either the colon or the dash would be acceptable.
