B. I plan to enroll in College next year

D. The A1 Plumbing Board of Directors gave every employee a raise
Answer Explanation
Choice B is wrong, as explained below.
"I plan to enroll in College next year" incorrectly capitalizes the word "College." The general rule for capitalization is that common nouns, such as "college," should not be capitalized unless they are part of a proper noun or a specific institution's name.Corrected, the sentence would be: "I plan to enroll in college next year." Kindly note that the question asks for the incorrectly capitalized sentence.
The other choices are correct as below:
Choice A: The Geography students took a class trip to the Rocky Mountains.
- This sentence correctly capitalizes "Geography" because it is the name of a specific subject or course. "Rocky Mountains" is also capitalized because it refers to a proper noun (a specific mountain range).
Choice C: Even though he moved to New York, he was born in a Western town.
- "New York" is correctly capitalized as it is the name of a specific state. "Western" is capitalized because it is part of the proper noun "Western town" which refers to a specific town in the Western region.
Choice D: The A1 Plumbing Board of Directors gave every employee a raise.
- "A1 Plumbing Board of Directors" is a specific organization's name, so all parts of it are capitalized appropriately.

Q #7: Which of the following sentences follows the rules of punctuation and capitalization?
A. “I loved that show,” He said. “It’s my favorite of the year.”
B. “I loved that show,” he said. “It’s my favorite of the year.”
C. “I loved that show.” he said. “It’s my favorite of the year.”
D. “I loved that show,” he said: “it’s my favorite of the year.”
Answer Explanation
Choice A: “I loved that show,” He said. “It’s my favorite of the year.”
In this choice, there is incorrect capitalization of "He" after the comma. Pronouns following dialogue should start with a lowercase letter unless they are proper nouns.
Choice C: “I loved that show.” he said. “It’s my favorite of the year.”
In this choice, there is incorrect punctuation after "show." There should be a comma after "show" to indicate that the dialogue tag "he said" is connected to the dialogue.
Choice D: “I loved that show,” he said: “it’s my favorite of the year.”
In this choice, a colon is used after "he said," which is not the correct punctuation for dialogue. A comma is typically used in this context to separate the dialogue from the dialogue tag.
So, Choice B is the only one that correctly follows the rules of punctuation and capitalization for dialogue.
