Final answer:

The sentence that has correct capitalization is "Captain Ahab was the main character in Moby Di//."

The answer is option ⇒C

Step-by-step explanation:

In English, proper nouns such as names of specific people, places, or titles should be capitalized. In this case, "Captain Ahab" is a proper noun because it is the name of a specific character. Therefore, both "Captain" and "Ahab" should be capitalized.

On the other hand, common nouns like "character" or "main" do not need to be capitalized unless they are part of a title or at the beginning of a sentence.

  • In option (A), "Captain ahab" is not correctly capitalized because "Captain" should be capitalized.
  • In option (B), "Moby Di//" is not correctly capitalized because "Di//" should be capitalized as "Di//".
  • In option (D), "Main Character" is unnecessarily capitalized. Only proper nouns within titles need to be capitalized.

So, the answer is option ⇒C
