Can I use an ellipsis after a question mark?

Question

I'm writing a paper, and I have a quotation that I'm unsure how to punctuate:

She says, “’…Do you think I found it easy to break it off?... There was nothing else I could do… I had a helpless mother and two young brothers… Many’s the time I’ve asked myself whether I was justified’” (1094).

Can I use the question mark followed by an ellipsis, or is there another way I should do this?

Answer 1

I have seen this being done often, and personally don't think it is wrong, since you are deliberately quoting only a part of a sentence or passage, and indicating the omissions with dots.
However, I am not sure, with the limited passage you have quoted, whether it is permissible to use a single as also a double apostrophe mark together.

Answer 2

I've seen that done before, and I would probably do it myself.

Unfortunately, I don't know whether it's "acceptable".

Actually, according to some, I just broke a rule. No periods outside of quotation marks!

May God bless you.

Answer 3

In a word, 'NO', however, is it an English paper? If not then it's probably acceptable. Phrases etc. should never start with 'and', 'but' or 'because' yet we see them all the time. Contemporary English continues to evolve as a more casual entity!
Maybe this will help you with your paper, good luck:.
