The questions 'Who?', 'What?', 'When?', 'Where?', 'How?', and 'Why?' need to be answered ....

Are the sentences below 100 percent correctly punctuated? Can I place commas after the quotation marks (to separate the questions) as I've done? I think that British punctuation may allow this.

If the sentences are incorrect, how would you correctly write them? Thumbs-up or thumbs-down to both of them?

The questions "Where did he go?", "How much money did he make?", and "To whom did he donate the money?" are questions that will forever remain unanswered.

The questions 'Who?', 'What?', 'When?', 'Where?', 'How?', and 'Why?' need to be answered in the narrative portion of your report.

As an option, may I use italics? is this one OK as well?
