Explanation:

Question 1

Proper nouns like city names (New York City) require capitalization of both parts. "New York City" is the correct name, so "He was born in New York City" is right.

When "city" is part of a formal place name (City of Kalamazoo), it's capitalized. So "His parents were from the City of Kalamazoo, Michigan" is correct.

Titles like "President" when used with a name (President Obama) are capitalized. So "When we were in Washington, we saw President Obama" is correct.

Answer:

He was born in New York City.
