Question

Which of the following sentences follows the rules of capitalization?

1. Kristia knows that her Aunt Jo will be visiting, but she is not sure if her uncle will be there as well.
2. Justinia will be staying with family in the outer banks during the early Fall.

Answer 1

Among the sentences provided, none perfectly follows the rules of capitalization and punctuation. Minor corrections are needed regarding the capitalization of 'fall', apostrophe placement for possessives and contractions, and the usage of commas in compound sentences.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentences provided need a review for correct capitalization and punctuation. Analyzing each provided sentence:

1. Capitalization: The word 'Fall' in the second sentence should not be capitalized as it is used generally and not as part of a proper noun or title. Instead, it should be 'fall'.
2. Apostrophes: The phrase 'Farmer Johns land' should have an apostrophe to indicate possession: 'Farmer John's land'. Similarly, 'ones' wealth' should be 'one's wealth' to show that wealth belongs to someone. In the phrase 'he obviously wont', 'won't' is a contraction for 'will not,' so it requires an apostrophe: 'won't'. 'I'll be back' has a missing apostrophe in 'I'll,' which is a contraction for 'I will.'
3. Commas: In the sentence 'I finally found my keys, and I got to work just in time,' a comma is needed before the conjunction 'and'. The comma after 'table' in 'Mrs. Contreras threw out her old coffee table and cleaned the carpet' is unnecessary since there is no independent clause following it.

Overall, correctly applying rules of capitalization, punctuation, and apostrophe use is essential for clear communication in written English.
