Answer 1

1. We will open another branch in British Columbia next fall.

2. The new executive has a degree in international business.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The names of seasons (e.g., “spring”) are treated as common nouns in English and therefore not capitalized. People often assume they are proper nouns, but this is an error. The names of days and months, however, are capitalized since they're treated as proper nouns in English (e.g., “Wednesday,” “January”).

2. lowercase all majors except those containing proper nouns. (His major is English; her major is engineering. Sue is majoring in Asian studies.) General subjects are lowercase (algebra, chemistry), but the names of specific courses are capitalized (Algebra I, Introduction to Sociology).

+ its bachelor in science not OF science.
