Explanation:

Question 1

To determine the correct sentence with proper capitalization, we analyze each option:

• Option A: "This afternoon, you and I will play basketball with Kathleen and Beth." - "you" is not a proper noun and should not be capitalized, but "I" is correctly capitalized, and the names "Kathleen" and "Beth" are proper nouns with correct capitalization. Wait, no—wait, in this option, "you" is lowercase, "I" is uppercase (correct), and the names are uppercase. Wait, no, let's re - check. The rule is that personal pronouns like "you" are not capitalized in the middle of a sentence, "I" is always capitalized, and proper nouns (names) are capitalized. In option B, "You" is capitalized incorrectly as it's not a proper noun or at the start of a sentence. In option C, "i" is lowercase, which is incorrect as "I" must be capitalized. So option A has correct capitalization? Wait, no—wait, the first word "This" is capitalized, "I" is capitalized, and the names are capitalized. Option B has "You" capitalized which is wrong. Option C has "i" lowercase. So the correct option is A? Wait, no, wait: Let's recall the capitalization rules. "I" is always capitalized. Proper nouns (names of people) are capitalized. Common nouns like "you" are not capitalized in the middle of a sentence. So in option A: "This" (start of sentence, capitalized), "you" (lowercase, correct), "I" (capitalized, correct), "Kathleen" and "Beth" (capitalized, correct). Option B: "You" is capitalized incorrectly. Option C: "i" is lowercase, incorrect. So the correct option is A.

We analyze the capitalization in each option:

• Option A: "Marie Curie, the famous chemist, worked with her Husband, Pierre." - "Husband" is a common noun here and should not be capitalized as it's not a proper noun or part of a title.
• Option B: "Marie curie, the famous Chemist, worked with her husband, Pierre." - "curie" should be capitalized as it's part of a proper noun (Marie Curie), and "Chemist" is a common noun here and should not be capitalized.
• Option C: "Marie Curie, the famous chemist, worked with her husband, Pierre." - "Marie Curie" (proper noun, correctly capitalized), "chemist" (common noun, lowercase, correct), "husband" (common noun, lowercase, correct), and "Pierre" (proper noun, correctly capitalized). So this option has correct capitalization.

Answer:

A. This afternoon, you and I will play basketball with Kathleen and Beth.
