Explanation:

Question 9

• For "a.m.", it is a lowercase abbreviation for "ante meridiem", but when following capitalization rules for formal writing or specific contexts (like in a sentence where other terms are capitalized for clarity), "A.M." can be capitalized. However, the main terms here are the month "July" (names of months are always capitalized) and "A.D." (abbreviation for "Anno Domini", a proper noun abbreviation, so should be capitalized). Also, "July" is a month name, so it must be capitalized. "A.M." is often capitalized in formal writing, and "A.D." is a proper abbreviation. So the words to capitalize are "July", "A.D.", and "A.M."? Wait, no, let's re - check. The original sentence is "10:25 a.m., july 4th, a.d. 1990".
• "July" is a month name, so it should be capitalized.
• "A.D." is an abbreviation for a specific era, so it should be capitalized.
• "a.m." is an abbreviation for "ante meridiem", and while it can be written as "a.m." or "A.M.", in the context of this sentence with other capitalized proper nouns, "A.M." is appropriate for capitalization. But wait, the options: Option B is "A.M., July, A.D."? Wait, no, let's look at the options again. Option C is "July, A.D.", Option B is "A.M., July, A.D.", Option A is "A.M., July". Wait, the correct capitalization: "July" (month) must be capitalized, "A.D." (era abbreviation) must be capitalized, and "a.m." can be capitalized as "A.M." in formal writing. So the words that should be capitalized are "July", "A.D.", and "A.M."? Wait, no, let's check standard capitalization rules.
• Month names: always capitalized (July).
• Era abbreviations: "A.D." (Anno Domini) is a proper noun abbreviation, so capitalized.
• Time abbreviations: "a.m." (ante meridiem) can be written as "a.m." or "A.M."; in the context of this sentence, since we are capitalizing other proper nouns, "A.M." is correct. So the words to capitalize are "A.M.", "July", and "A.D."? But let's check the options. Option B is "A.M., July, A.D.", Option C is "July, A.D.", Option A is "A.M., July". Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Let's re - evaluate. The original sentence: "10:25 a.m., july 4th, a.d. 1990".
• "july" should be "July" (month name, capitalized).
• "a.d." should be "A.D." (era abbreviation, capitalized).
• "a.m." can be "A.M." (time abbreviation, capitalized in formal contexts). So the correct words to capitalize are "July", "A.D.", and "A.M."? But the options: Option B is "A.M., July, A.D.", which includes all three. Wait, but maybe the question is considering that "a.m." is not always capitalized, but "July" and "A.D." are. Wait, no, let's check the options again. The options are:
• (A) A.M., July
• (B) A.M., July, A.D.
• (C) July, A.D.
• The correct answer is B? Wait, no, let's think again. "A.M." is an abbreviation for "ante meridiem", and while it can be capitalized, is it necessary? The main proper nouns here are the month (July) and the era (A.D.). But in the context of the sentence, if we follow the rule that abbreviations of proper nouns or terms that are part of a proper - noun - like phrase are capitalized, "A.M." is a time - related abbreviation, and "A.D." is an era - related abbreviation, and "July" is a month. So the words that should be capitalized are "July", "A.D.", and "A.M."? So Option B is correct.

• In the sentence "Our high school was named after a hero who was a captain in world war II", we need to identify the words that should be capitalized.
• "High School": "high school" is a common noun phrase here (it's not a specific, named high school like "Lincoln High School"), so it should not be capitalized.
• "Captain": it is a common noun (a rank), not a proper noun, so it should not be capitalized.
• "World War II": "World War II" is a specific historical event, and the words "World" and "War" in this proper noun (the name of a war) should be capitalized. So "World War" should be capitalized.

Answer:

(B) A.M., July, A.D.
