Question

Which of the following should you capitalize?

OA) types of food
B) all adjectives
OC) common nouns (town, car, girl)
D) names of states, countries, and languages

Answer 1

In English, you should capitalize names of states, countries, and languages, proper nouns, and the first word in a sentence or quotation.

Step-by-step explanation:

In English, you should capitalize:

1. Names of states, countries, and languages (e.g., “California,” “France,” “Spanish’).
2. Proper nouns or specific names of people, places, and things (e.g., “John,” “New York,” “Eiffel Tower”).
3. The first word in a sentence or quotation (e.g., “The sky is blue.” “‘To be or not to be’ is a famous quote.”)

For example, ‘American,’ in “American food,” is an adjective but is capitalized because it is a proper adjective describing the country.
