Answer 1

The sentence that is capitalized correctly is:

A. Cherice and Markus drove down to Lake Tahoe to enjoy the beautiful fall weather.

Step-by-step explanation:

The other sentences are not capitalized correctly because:

B. The word “Quaker” should be capitalized because it is a proper noun, referring to a brand name. The correct sentence would be: Tina was proud of herself for having a bowl of Quaker oatmeal instead of pancakes.

C. The word “astronomy” should not be capitalized because it is a common noun. The correct sentence would be: Alejandro became interested in astronomy when he saw a picture of the Milky Way.

D. The words “Rotary Club” should both be capitalized because they refer to the name of an organization. The correct sentence would be: Tony Lewis received a commendation for a decade of service to the Rotary Club.
