choose the phrase that's correctly capitalized? A-an italian grocery B-the prudential building C-the renaissance D-CHEMISTRY 101
It must be D -- although Chemistry 101 doesn't usually need to be in all caps.
Depending upon the context, the renaissance could also be correct. The Renaissance pertains to the period in European history in which people studied the classics and came up with new art forms and scientific innoveations. However, in other contexts, renaissance, meaning a general rebirth, is not capitalized.
The correct answer is D - CHEMISTRY 101.
To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the rules of capitalization. Generally, proper nouns like names of people, places, and specific things are capitalized, while common nouns are not.
Let's analyze each option:
A - A-an italian grocery: This option is not correctly capitalized. "Italian" should be capitalized as it refers to a nationality, and "grocery" should be in lowercase because it is a common noun. Additionally, "a-an" should be just "an" or "a."
B - The prudential building: This option is correctly capitalized. "The" should be capitalized as it is the first word in the title, and "Prudential" should be capitalized as it is a proper noun referring to a specific building.
C - The renaissance: This option is not correctly capitalized. "The" should be capitalized as it is the first word in the title, but "renaissance" should be in lowercase because it is a common noun.
D - CHEMISTRY 101: This option is correctly capitalized. All letters in "CHEMISTRY 101" should be in uppercase because it represents a specific course name and number, which are proper nouns.
Therefore, the correct answer is D - CHEMISTRY 101.
