Question

Select the sentence that uses capitalization correctly.

Answer

To answer this question correctly, we need to know that titles need to be capitalized. Titles such as Mr., Miss., and Mrs. always need to be capitalized and end with a period. Also, when we are talking about a specific president, "President" needs to be capitalized because it is the person's title.

"Today in math class, Mr. Juan gave us a pop quiz." is the correct answer.
