"It seems to me," mused Shawn "that those policies are confusing."

Answer 1

The correct answer is sentence three:

"It seems to me," mused Shawn, "that those policies are confusing."

In American English, commas and full stops go within closing quotation marks. Commas are also used when attributing quotes. In this case, the quotation is introduced or interrupted, so commas are also used to regard the quote as being said by Shawn.
