The sentence which is changed to demonstrate the correct use of quotation marks is: When insulted for not being streetwise and city-smart, Will Rogers said, "I'd a lot rather be the man who bought the Brooklyn Bridge than the man who sold it". Therefore, the correct answer is option C. "I'd a lot rather be the man who bought the Brooklyn bridge than the man who sold it" should be in quotation marks because it is a direct quotation from Rogers.
