Answer:

You should show readers that the quote starts int he beginning of whatever sentence you are quoting and ends at the end of said sentence

Step-by-step explanation:

If you were trying to quote something from a book, let's say, The Lions of Little Rock, you would do as such: Page 153 states "We spent every Christmas with Granny in Pine Bluff. She was short like me, and wore faded dresses that she'd bought way before I was born. Her hair was the color of buttermilk, and that was her drink too, rich and comforting."
