Question 10 • English Language Arts 11

Read the sentence. Mrs. Miller told us that the Winter storm would likely delay our flight to North Dakota. Which word in the sentence is incorrectly capitalized?

Answer
A
North
B
Dakota
C
Miller
D
Winter

Explanation

“Winter” is a common noun naming a season, so it should not be capitalized in the middle of a sentence. “North Dakota” is a proper place name, and “Mrs. Miller” is a name and title, so those words are correctly capitalized.
