A. not this... "Although, when our parents were younger," Henry added, "All of the televisions were square." but this: "Although, when our parents were younger," Henry added, "all of the televisions were square." as it is being continued, there is no need to capitalize "all" doing so would create a run-on of a sort B. not this Roger noted, "many families in the United States now own big flat-screen televisions." but this: Roger noted, "Many families in the United States now own big flat-screen televisions." the quote is still the beginning of the sentence, so "Many" must be capitalized. C. this is correct! "Most modern televisions," observed Simon, "have a rectangular shape." it is continued without incorrect capitalization! D. not this "The first live TV broadcast in the U.S. occurred in 1951," explained Thad. "it was a speech by President Truman." but this: "The first live TV broadcast in the U.S. occurred in 1951," explained Thad. "It was a speech by President Truman." In this case, they are two sentences. So "It" must be capitalized :)
