Question 4

The A1 Plumbing Board of Directors gave every employee a raise.

This sentence correctly applies capitalization rules by capitalizing the proper noun "A1 Plumbing Board of Directors," which refers to a specific organization. Additionally, it appropriately capitalizes the first letter of the sentence.

A) Even though he moved to New York, he was born in a western town.

This option incorrectly capitalizes "western" as it does not refer to a specific region or proper noun; it should be lowercase. The name "New York" is correctly capitalized, but the overall sentence does not adhere to proper capitalization standards due to the error regarding "western."

B) The A1 Plumbing Board of Directors gave every employee a raise.

This option is correct as it follows capitalization rules by properly capitalizing the name of the organization and the first letter of the sentence. It adheres to the conventions for proper nouns and sentence beginnings.

C) I plan to enroll in college next year.

While this sentence is grammatically correct, it improperly capitalizes "college." The term "college" should be lowercase unless it is part of a specific institution's name. Thus, it does not meet the capitalization rules.

D) The geography students took a class trip to the Rocky Mountains.

This sentence correctly capitalizes "Rocky Mountains," which is a proper noun. However, it does not include the same level of specificity as option B regarding organizational names. While it is a correctly structured sentence, it is not the best example of capitalization rules.

Conclusion

Option B is definitively correct as it accurately follows the rules of capitalization by properly naming a specific organization and starting the sentence with a capital letter. All other options contain capitalization errors that prevent them from being correct, highlighting the importance of proper noun usage in capitalization.
