When including a quotation in an essay the quotation may not just be dropped in to the essay without any context. The first option is wrong because the quotation marks go around the entire quotation AND the contextual information. Since the context is not in the story, it is not directly from the text and should not be in quotes. Quotations can be embedded into the essay writer's sentences such as in option 2 and 4. Anything that is taken directly from the text must be in quotations. Quotations can also be included by using a set up to introduce the author's name and any other important information for understanding the quote. In the last option, the setup comes after the quotation.
