"No one in their right mind will want to spend their entire life working till they lie six feet under. Given a choice, no elderly will want to collect cardboard boxes & deem it as “a form of exercise”. Given a choice, no elderly will enjoy clearing plates in the hawker centre “to stay active and engaged & to feel a sense of worth and purpose” “, he added.
Are all the quotation marks, especially those before “he” correct?
"No one in their right mind will want to spend their entire life working till they lie six feet under. Given a choice, no elderly people will want to collect cardboard boxes and deem it as ‘a form of exercise’. Given a choice, no elderly people will enjoy clearing plates in the hawker centre ‘to stay active and engaged, and to feel a sense of worth and purpose’“, he added.
(Within the quoted speech, we may enclose/highlight words and phrases with single inverted commas. Further, the ampersand symbol in place of ‘and’ may be avoided.)
