Question

Which of the following sentences has an error in capitalization?

A. The cruise ship crossed the Atlantic Ocean during very calm seas.
B. He looked at me carefully and stated, "Don't worry because I'm here."
C. I already heard the news about Jamie and Alex: they are going to have a baby!
D. Central Park is one of New York's features I would love to visit someday.

Answer 1

The statement which has an error in capitalization is C. I already heard the news about Jamie and Alex: they are going to have a baby!

This is because we can capitalize a statement after a colon if it is an independent statement. Hence, the letter 't' in the word 'they' need to be capitalized after the colon.

The correct statement would hence be written as:

I already heard the news about Jamie and Alex: They are going to have a baby!
