if the quote is a question is the question mark outside of the citation or inside the quote e.g. "Tou’rt mad to say it. / Is not thy master with him, who, were’t so, / Would have informed for preparation?" (1.5.30-32). OR "Tou’rt mad to say it. / Is not thy master with him, who, were’t so, / Would have informed for preparation" (1.5.30-32)?

According to the Publication Manual of the American Psuchological Associate (1994, pg. 98) "Close the quoted passage with quotation marks, cite the source in parentheses immediately after the quotation marks, and end with the period or other punctuation outside the final parentheses." (this is if the quote is at the end of the sentence.)

That makes it look like (1.5.30-32) is the question. The question is actually in the quotation, not the source. The source is a sentence in itself, with it's own punctuation.
