True or False
1. The sord South is always capitalized.
Answer: False
2. The word doctor is capitalized if you are addressing the doctor as such, as in "Hello Doctor."
Answer: True
Right.
To determine whether the statements are true or false, we can refer to the rules of capitalization in the English language.
1. The word "South" is not always capitalized, so the statement is false. In general, cardinal directions like north, south, east, and west are not capitalized unless they are part of a proper noun or used to refer to a specific region, such as "South Africa" or "the South of France."
2. The word "doctor" is capitalized when it is used as a title or a specific form of address. Therefore, the statement is true. For example, when directly addressing a person as "Doctor," such as in "Hello Doctor Smith," the word "doctor" should be capitalized. However, if it is used generically to refer to a profession, like "I want to become a doctor," it is not capitalized.
