What do you think it is?

C....

C

OpenStudy (tinylittlehelper):

The answer is D. Why? Because proper noun names of people, places, and things are capitalized. The word "god" isn't supposed to be capitalized.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would go with D because I searched it up and goddess is not capitalized. It is meaning more than one god and if it meant one God it would be capitalized.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But God is a proper person and is always capitalized in religious writings and such...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But it is not meaning God it is meaning gods. It says more than one god.

OpenStudy (tinylittlehelper):

I agree with @Luje. If there is more than one proper noun like "OperaOms" or "Graces", then it's no longer a proper noun, no longer unique.
