Which additional word in the sentence should be capitalized? I asked dad for the answer to that riddle about the elephant and the peanut. A. Dad B. Riddle C. Elephant D. Peanut

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Any ideas?

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Incorrect. "Riddle" in just an average word in this sentence. It isn't the title of the book he is talking about.

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

They aren't even talking about a book .-.

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

They are talking about a riddle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean the title of the riddle.

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Incorrect again.

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

C then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Incorrect.

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

How is it dad :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because "Dad" is a name. "Dad" is what he calls his father. So it's no difference that capitalizing someone's actual name.

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

...

OpenStudy (anonymous):
