The correct answer is C) The paragraph begins with a quote, which takes away from the writer's control.

What is wrong with the quotation in this example is that the paragraph begins with a quote, which takes away from the writer's control.

In correct grammar, quotation marks are used when we need to write direct words, titles of works such as books or songs, Quotation marks are used when we write words or ideas that belong to another person. If quotes are part of a full sentence, yo capitalize the quoted text. If it's just a fragment, you don't.
