I hired an Amazon editor.  She said, I say boastfully, "There were virtually no spelling, grammar, or punctuation errors so let's talk about structural issues..."


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. . . .”
