Final answer:

The sentence with correct capitalization is option A, which capitalizes proper nouns and the first word of a direct quote, but does not capitalize 'sister' unless it is a proper noun or title.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence that uses correct capitalization is the one where proper nouns, such as names of people and places, are capitalized, and the first word of the direct quote starts with a capital letter. From the options given:

  • A. She asked her sister, "Are Mary and Joe both going to see the movie at Loew's Theater?"
  • B. She asked her Sister, "are Mary and Joe both going to see the movie at Loew's theater?"
  • C. she asked her sister, "Are Mary and Joe both going to see the movie at Loew's Theater?"
  • D. she asked her Sister, "are Mary and Joe both going to see the movie at Loew's theater?"

The correct sentence is 'A'. 'Sister' should not be capitalized unless used as a proper noun or title, 'Mary' and 'Joe' are names and should be capitalized, 'Loew's' is the name of the theater and should be capitalized, and the first letter of the first word in the direct quote should be capitalized.
