    B. I plan to enroll in College next year

    C. Even though he moved to New York, he was born in a Western town.

    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.
