Question

Which choice is capitalized incorrectly?

Will the talks reduce iraqi-american tensions?

talks
tensions
iraqi-american
Will

Answer 1

iraqi-american.

Step-by-step explanation:

As a grammar rule, every time the name of a country, nationality, or language is written, their first letter must be capitalized as they're proper nouns.

Both "Iraqi" and "American" refer to nationalities. Therefore, the correct writing would be "Iraqi-American".

Answer 2

The choice that is capitalized incorrectly in the given sentence above is "iraqi-american". This word should be "Iraqi-American". This choice should take the first letter capitalized because this is a specific name describing the word "tensions". It refers to the specific names of nationalities which are Iraqi and American.
