Example Question #6 : Knowledge Of Standard English Conventions
Capital letters should be used _______________.
Possible Answers:
for proper nouns and to begin sentences
in a non-standard spelling; all capitalization rules are idiomatic
only for proper nouns
only to begin sentences
Correct answer:
for proper nouns and to begin sentences
Explanation:
This is a very basic question interrogating the test-taker's knowledge of the rules of capitalization. While the rules of capitalization (not to mention spelling and punctuation) remained unstandardized for the vast majority of the history of the English language, at this point the rules are mostly set. Proper nouns (names, whether of people or things) always require capitalization, as do the words beginning any sentence.
