We left King ranch on a december day in 1873. On the Santa Fe trail, we hit bad weather. The Red river was flooded and it took us four days to get the Cattle across. All in all, it was a hard trail drive, but we got our Longhorns to the railroad at Abilene. Which of the following words should be capitalized? A. river B. railroad C. drive D. weather
I'll be glad to check your answer.
A. river
Right.
In this sentence, the following words should be capitalized:
B. Railroad - "the railroad at Abilene" refers to a specific and proper noun, so it should be capitalized.
D. Weather - while "weather" is not generally capitalized, in this context, "bad weather" refers to a specific event or condition and is an integral part of the story, so it should be capitalized.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. Railroad and D. Weather.
