Question 5 • English 2

Which sentence uses capitalization correctly?

Answer
A
A famous novel the Great Gatsby was first published in 1925.
B
How did senator Gutierrez vote on the new tax bill?
C
My Friend has lived in North Dakota for about 15 years.
D
This summer I plan on visiting family in the Northeast.

Explanation

“Northeast” is capitalized when it names a specific region of the country, so sentence A uses capitalization correctly. In B, the novel’s title should begin with “The,” not lowercase “the.” In C, “Senator” should be capitalized as a title used before a person’s name. In D, “Friend” is a common noun and should be lowercase.
