Answer:

President Kennedy told the nation, "Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country."

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer should have quotation marks around what the president said. There should be a comma to introduce the quote. It should appear before the opening quotation mark. A period that ends the sentence should always go inside of the quotation marks.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reasons is that A and D are broken apart too much and B is just a run on sentence.
