 Joe, in regards to:

Then Person B asks a question, such as "Isn't it a nice day"?

Note: Where do I put the question mark relative to the quotation mark?

Place a question mark or exclamation point within closing quotation marks if the punctuation applies to the quotation itself. Place the punctuation outside the closing quotation marks if the punctuation applies to the whole sentence.

Phillip asked, "Do you need this book?"

Does Dr. Lim always say to her students, "You must work harder"?

So it would be written: ..."Isn't it a nice day?"
because the context of the complete sentence is a question.
