Answer 1

Carter establishes a definition for integrity: “discerning what is right and what is wrong; acting on what you have discerned, even at personal cost; and saying openly that you are acting on your understanding of right and wrong.”

The colon must be after the word integrity. It should not be used to split the phrase "At the beginning of his essay". Nor should there be any punctuation between essay and the essay title. A colon should only be used if the text before the colon can be a complete sentence by itself. In the first option, everything before the colon is a complete sentence. The quotation after is used to prove the rest of the sentence correct.
