Question

5 multiple choice 1 point identify the sentence that properly applies capitalization rules. my favorite short story is “the call of cthulhu” by h.p. lovecraft. my favorite short story is “the call of cthulhu” by h.p. lovecraft. my favorite short story is “the call of cthulhu” by h.p. lovecraft. my favorite short story is “the call of cthulhu” by h.p. lovecraft.

Explanation:

To determine the correct sentence, we analyze capitalization rules:

1. Sentences should start with a capital letter. So options with "my" (no capital) at the start are incorrect (second and fourth options partially, but fourth also has lowercase in the title and author's initials).
2. Common nouns like "short story" are not capitalized (so first option with "Short Story" is wrong as it capitalizes a common noun).
3. Titles of works (like "The Call of Cthulhu") should have proper capitalization (first word and important words), and author names/initials (H.P. Lovecraft) should be capitalized. The third option follows these: starts with "My", "short story" is lowercase (common noun), title "The Call of Cthulhu" is properly capitalized, and author "H.P. Lovecraft" is correct.

Answer:

C. My favorite short story is "The Call of Cthulhu" by H.P. Lovecraft. (Note: Assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D in order, the third option is the correct one with this label. If original labels differ, adjust, but based on the order: first option A, second B, third C, fourth D. So the correct one is C as per the analysis.)
