The second sentence is the correct choice for introducing and citing the quote. Here's why: 1. The second sentence correctly places the comma inside the quotation marks after the phrase "mental illness" and includes the author names and page number within the parentheses, which is the appropriate format for citing sources in APA style writing. 2. The first sentence incorrectly places the period outside the quotation marks after "mental illness," which is not the standard punctuation rule for introducing and citing quotes. 3. The third sentence lacks a comma before the opening quotation mark, which is needed to separate the introductory clause from the quote itself. This punctuation error makes the third sentence incorrect for introducing and citing the quote effectively. Therefore, the second sentence is the correct choice as it follows the standard rules for punctuating and citing a quote within a sentence.
