Question 7 • Online English 10A

Which sentence uses capitalization correctly?

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

Explanation

“Northeast” is capitalized because it names a specific region, so “This summer I plan on visiting family in the Northeast” uses capitalization correctly. In A, “senator” should be capitalized when used as a title before a person’s name. In C, “Friend” is not a proper noun and should be lowercase. In D, the novel’s title should be capitalized and set apart, as in “The Great Gatsby.”
