To determine which of the italicized words is correctly capitalized, we need to understand the rules of capitalization.
The general rule is that the first letter of a sentence, proper nouns (specific names of people, places, or things), and important words in titles are capitalized.
Looking at the options provided:
A. "Mount mckinley is the tallest mountain in North America."
Here, "Mount" is correctly capitalized as it is part of the place name "Mount McKinley."
B. "The most beautiful State is Hawaii."
In this sentence, "State" is correctly capitalized as it is an important word in the title.
C. "Marsha speaks excellent german."
The word "german" should be capitalized as it is a proper noun, referring to the German language.
D. "Jim must drive to the North to study the northern lights."
Both instances of "North" and "northern" are correctly capitalized as they are indicating specific directions and a proper noun.
Based on these explanations, option D is indeed correctly capitalized.
