Which of the following sentences is correct?
The sentence that demonstrates the correct use of capitalizing direction words is: "The Northeast has been hit with an unusually cold winter."
To determine the correct use of capitalizing direction words, we need to follow standard capitalization rules. Direction words are not typically capitalized unless they are specifically referring to a specific region or proper noun.
In the first sentence, "Northeast" is capitalized because it is referring to a specific region. It is known as "the Northeast" and is capitalized as a proper noun.
In the second sentence, "West" should not be capitalized unless it is part of a specific region or proper noun. Since it is not part of a proper noun here, it should not be capitalized.
In the third sentence, "South" should not be capitalized unless it is part of a specific region or proper noun. Since it is not part of a proper noun here, it should not be capitalized.
In the fourth sentence, "East" should not be capitalized unless it is part of a specific region or proper noun. Since it is not part of a proper noun here, it should not be capitalized.
So, the sentence that correctly capitalizes the direction word is: "The Northeast has been hit with an unusually cold winter."
