Good job! Your answer is correct.
In sentence A, the item "Mystery at Sea" should be italicized or enclosed in quotation marks to indicate that it is the title of a novel. Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "On the ship's deck was a woman reading a novel called 'Mystery at Sea.'"
To identify the incorrect or missing italicization, you can follow these steps:
1. Read each option and identify the specific item mentioned.
2. Determine if the item is a title of a book, movie, play, or other published work.
3. Consult proper grammar and style guides, such as The Chicago Manual of Style, to see if the item should be italicized or enclosed in quotation marks.
4. Compare the item in the sentence with the correct formatting rules to identify any errors or omissions.
