Right.

To determine the correctness of the statements, we need to understand the rules around capitalization.

1. A direct quote never begins with a capital letter. - False
This statement is false. In the English language, when using a direct quote, the first letter of the quote should be capitalized. This is because the quote is treated as a complete sentence or a stand-alone fragment.

2. You should capitalize proper names only if they are part of a quotation. - False
This statement is also false. Proper names are always capitalized regardless of whether they are part of a quotation or not. A proper name refers to the name of a specific person, place, or organization.

3. Familiar titles, such as "uncle," are capitalized when used with a proper name. - True
This statement is true. When a familiar title is used with a proper name, such as "Uncle John" or "Aunt Jane," the title should be capitalized. This rule applies to titles like aunt, uncle, grandma, grandpa, etc., when they are used before a person's name.

In summary, the correct answers are:
1. False (A direct quote does begin with a capital letter.)
2. False (Proper names are always capitalized regardless of being part of a quotation.)
3. True (Familiar titles are capitalized when used with a proper name.)
