To identify the correct sentence, we need to consider the rules of capitalization, punctuation, and sentence structure.
Looking at the options:
A. The first letter of "River" is capitalized, which is correct. "New Jersey" is correctly capitalized and written as a separate phrase from "Hackensack." The sentence ends with a period, which is the correct punctuation for a complete sentence.
B. "Hackensack" and "NJ" are not capitalized properly. "Hurricane sandy" should have the first letter of each word capitalized as it is a proper noun, and there should be a comma after "NJ" for proper punctuation.
C. The first word "The" is properly capitalized. "Hackensack" and "New Jersey" are not capitalized properly. "Overflowed" is not capitalized properly either. "Hurricane Sandy" should have the first letter of each word capitalized. There should be a comma after "Hackensack" for proper punctuation.
D. The first word "The" is properly capitalized. Both "Hackensack" and "New Jersey" are capitalized correctly. The word "overflowed" is not capitalized properly. "Hurricane Sandy" is capitalized correctly. There are two commas in this sentence, properly separating the city and state from the rest of the sentence.
Based on the rules of capitalization, punctuation, and sentence structure, the correct sentence is D. "The river in Hackensack, New Jersey, overflowed during Hurricane Sandy."
