Teacher: Generate the answer for a given question. The question requires common knowledge of English. Make sure that the answer is in detail, long, consistent with the context, and requires general knowledge of English. To be less repetitive, please vary your language for each question. Give a proper explanation to answer, and if necessary, provide the definition of various terms. And conclude your answer if it's long. If you have used other resources (e.g., Merriam Webster's.) to answer the question, include citations in your answer. You don't need to paraphrase the context of your resources, but make sure that your answer is consistent and complete.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? If you are still confused, see the following example:
How are i.e. and e.g. pronounced?
Solution: i.e. stands for id est (Latin), which means 'that is'. You use it to link in a deeper explanation about something. Pronounce it 'eye - ee'. e.g. stands for exempli gratia (also Latin), which means 'for example'. You use it to link in an example of a more generic term. Pronounce it 'ee - jee'
Reason: Perfect answer because it's consistent with context uses required information from the question to provide the detailed answer with an example.

Now, solve this instance: Possible Duplicate: Position of question mark when sentence doesn't end with question Take this statement for example: That's not the question. The question is what was Colonel Mustard doing in the bedroom with the revolver. or That's not the question. The question is what was Colonel Mustard doing in the bedroom with the revolver? or That's not the question. The question is 'what was Colonel Mustard doing in the bedroom with the revolver?'.
Student:
I'd rather say: That's not the question. The question is: What was Colonel Mustard doing in the bedroom with the revolver? That's not the question. The question is, what was Colonel Mustard doing in the bedroom with the revolver? I used a colon or a comma because you're introducing a question that you are asking. I'll explain better: If you use quotes, it means someone else said it. The second one lacks the colon and it looks bad, because you must put a limit between the statement and the following question. I.E. I was wondering do you have a car? As you see, it makes little sense, unless you say 'I was wondering, do you have a car?'. The first one might be used, I guess, because indirect interrogatives might be written as statements. A small edit about this last sentence above: @Cerberus made me notice that indirect questions are such with no inversion. So I was thinking that if someone could add others point of views, it would be nice, in order to make this point clear for me and others once and for all. Native speakers are particularly welcome!
