8 Which of the following sentences correctly uses capitalization? Before I walked down the street, I yelled to Mom that I was leaving. I told doctor Richardson that I needed an appointment for tomorrow. The local Elementary School is doing a food drive for families in need. Every Summer I go to the beach with my family on vacation.

Answer 1

A) Before I walked down the street, I yelled to Mom that I was leaving.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Before I walked down the street, I yelled to Mom that I was leaving.

• (correct)

B) I told doctor Richardson that I needed an appointment for tomorrow.

• This sentence is incorrect because a doctor must be capitalized, along with certain family relations and titles, when used immediately before a person's name in direct reference.

C) The local Elementary School is doing a food drive for families in need.

• This sentence needs to change to elementary school. Capitalize only the first word of a sentence, proper nouns, and proper adjectives.

D) Every Summer I go to the beach with my family on vacation.

Summer is a common word that is not a proper noun.
