To determine the sentence that contains a proper noun which should be capitalized, we need to identify any capitalized words in each sentence and check if they are proper nouns.
Sentence 7: "Should we change course, Skipper?" - The word "Skipper" is capitalized, indicating that it is a proper noun.
Sentence 2: "The freighter Florentine, 320 miles northeast of the Hawaiian Island of Hilo was lumbering along at about 15 knots" - The word "Florentine" is capitalized, but we need to confirm if it is a proper noun by checking if it is a specific name.
Sentence 5: "Pearl Harbor," he choked out, "It's been attacked!" - The words "Pearl Harbor" are capitalized, but we need to confirm if it refers to a specific place.
Sentence 4: "With the message burned into his mind, First Mate Lovett all but ran up the ladder to the bridge." - No capitalized words in this sentence.
Based on the analysis, the proper noun that should be capitalized is in Sentence 7: "Should we change course, Skipper?" Therefore, the correct answer is A. Sentence 7.
