Of my fall semester courses at Troy High School, probably Geometry and Physics were my favorites. C. Of my fall semester courses at Troy High School, probably geometry and physics were my favorites. D. Of my Fall Semester Courses at Troy high school, probably Geometry and Physics were my favorites.

Answer 1

The sentence with correct capitalization rules is 'Of my fall semester courses at Troy High School, probably geometry and physics were my favorites.'

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct sentence is C. Of my fall semester courses at Troy High School, probably geometry and physics were my favorites.

This sentence is correct because it follows the conventional rules for capitalization. The rules state that names of particular places, like schools, should be capitalized, hence 'Troy High School' is correct. Academic subjects are not capitalized unless they are languages, so 'geometry' and 'physics' should not be capitalized. Seasons such as 'fall' are also not capitalized unless they are part of a formal name.

Answer 2

The sentence that is correctly written is option B. Of my fall semester courses at Troy High School, probably Geometry and Physics were my favorites. Notice that the difference in every sentence is how the nouns are properly capitalized. Option B is the correct answer because the name of the school and the name of the subjects are Proper nouns, therefore the first letter should be capitalized.
