Insert period before three trailing ellipsis points. How much did you pay
your Amazon editor?   ;-p

MLA style places <https://www.thepunctuationguide.com/ellipses.html> the
sentence-terminating period immediately after the last word of the
quotation, even though a period does not occur there in the original
material. The three ellipsis points are then placed after this
sentence-terminating period.


eg

Thoreau argues that by simplifying one’s life, “the laws of the universe
will appear less complex. . . .”
