a. before sentence 1
b. before sentence 2
c. before sentence 3
d. before sentence 4

The correct answer is: B. before sentence 2.

Indeed, the essay starts with a the sentence that makes an assertion as being a fact. One of the most important principles of academic writing is that it has to be objective and accurate. Because it has to be objective, assertions cannot be based on, or be opinions, they have to be factual. Because they have to be factual, they need to be accurate and such accuracy depends especially on their sources, which are supposed to be academic works by respected and confirmed experts in a given field of science, culture or the arts, who have conducted extensive research on the area or topic under study.

Since the assertion is sentence 1 and what follows is just a list of examples that provide factual, contextual evidence of the assertion on sentence one, the quotation has to be inserted right after such assertion and before sentence two, which is not part of it.
