Which sentence is capitalized correctly?

The reporting verb “noted” is part of the sentence and should remain lowercase. Because the quotation begins a complete sentence, its first word, “My,” must be capitalized. Thus, the correctly capitalized sentence is “Malia noted, ‘My class traveled to Barcelona to study architecture.’” Choices A and C incorrectly lowercase “My,” while D incorrectly capitalizes “noted.”
