For want of efficiency, I prefer not to type >
in front of each disjoint paragraph. So how would I blockquote B, C, D in the following? Thanks.

(a) CORRECT. The reference to the end of the Eastern Bloc is preceded by the
statement that: ‘Four years in the C20 would be considered relatively quick for
the weakening of an established order’. The end of the Eastern Bloc is used as
an example of that fact and a comparison is made to what was achieved in four
years in the 16th century.
(b) INCORRECT. See (a).
(c) INCORRECT. No comparison is made of the two regimes.
