D. The Geography students took a class trip to the Rocky Mountains.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Sentence A: “I plan to enroll in College next Year.”<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Incorrect: “College” and “Year” should not be capitalized here. Common nouns like “college” and “year” are not capitalized unless they are part of a specific name (e.g., “Harvard College”).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Corrected: “I plan to enroll in college next year.”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Sentence B: “Even though he moved to New York, he was born in a western town.”<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Incorrect: “western” should be capitalized because it refers to a region, in this case, a direction or part of the country.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Corrected: “Even though he moved to New York, he was born in a Western town.”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Sentence C: “The A1 Plumbing Board of Directors gave every employee a Range.”<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • Incorrect: “Range” is a common noun and should not be capitalized unless referring to a specific brand name. It\u2019s unclear here if “Range” is a specific model, so assuming it refers to a common object, it should be lowercase.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Corrected: “The A1 Plumbing Board of Directors gave every employee a range.”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              1. Sentence D: “The Geography students took a class trip to the Rocky Mountains.”<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                • Correct: “Geography” is a proper noun in this case, as it refers to a specific course. “Rocky Mountains” is a proper noun, representing a specific geographical region, and thus should be capitalized. The capitalization rules in this sentence are correct, so no changes are needed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  Thus, sentence D<\/strong> adheres to the rules of capitalization correctly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
