Question Marks Inside/Outside Quotation Marks and Parentheses

When the "?" is part of the quotation--it goes inside the quotation marks and is the terminal punctuation of the sentence:

• The ambassador asked, "Then why, sir, are these maneuvers occuring so close to our border?"
• "What do you suppose he had in mind," inquired Newman, looking puzzled, "when he said, 'You are all greater fools than I thought'?"

When the "?" belongs to the sentence but not to the quoted passage, it goes outside the quotation marks and terminates the sentence:

• Why was Farragut trembling when he said, "I'm here to open an inquiry"?
• If that was the case, why did she delay answering the governor until he pointedly told her "You must answer the question, Lady Plotnick!"?

When the "?" is part of the parenthetical text, it goes inside the parentheses, and when it is not, it goes outside them.

• He shouted vigorously at Professor Macbeth (perhaps forgetting that Macbeth's wife was somewhat unstable?).
• Do you believe my aguantibo needs urgent instruction in the correct fingering of the bassoon (not that it's a suitable instrument for such a beast)?
