Help! Formatting question for volunteer review.

[Antares]

I am very vexed by the proper formatting for a quoted paragraph, from the novel, inside a review. I would truly appreciate any guidance or direction that the group can offer.
I have currently tried this three ways; however, I do not know if any, or which, is correct.

Example 1
This would be a block paragraph to make my argument. It would be a few sentences long. It doesnt look correct to page brake and insert the quoted paragraph here.
" this would be the quote. To my eyes this just doesn't look acceptable. Here would be the ending of the quote. (book name, page number)"
Now I would continue to make my second point of this particular paragraph.This would be the start of my third argument.


Example 2
Quote from Book Name excerpt from (page number)
"This would be the this would be the quote. My theory is this not the acceptable format, and may lead to confusion; however, it is the topic so, giving the information first, may be, the correct way to format. Here would be the ending of the quote"
This would be a block paragraph to make my argument. It would be a few sentences long. Now I would continue to make my second point of this particular paragraph; resulting in various numbers of sentences. This would be the start of my third argument.


Example 3
This would be a block paragraph to make my argument. It would be a few sentences long. Now I would continue to make my second point of this particular paragraph; resulting in various numbers of sentences. This would be the start of my third argument.
" this would be the quote. This would be my best guess at the acceptable format. The quote does apply to all three arguments, however, it would be the strongest argument for opinion number one. Here would be the ending of the quote. (book name, page number)"


Now that everyone can hopefully understand my confusion I would appreciate any guidance, vote, or guess that you have. If it wouldnt be to much trouble can you also explain why your solution would be correct. Reasons would be a helpful way to remember for future reviews.

Thank you all in advance.

Please don't just view this post. I am truly open to guesses, I have to get this review turned in asap. If we are wrong, I am sure they will point it out during the review. Worst case we will be wrong together!

I would go for example 3 but I too would like to know if there is a required way to put quotes in our reviews or can we format it however we like?

It is very confusing isn't it? Thank you for your guess. I truly appreciate it.

If it was me, I would use the quote BBCode. For example:


Block paragraph. Block paragraph. Block paragraph. Block paragraph. Block paragraph. Block paragraph.

Quote text quote text.

Another paragraph. Blah blah blah.
