Answer 5

Read the sentence.

My dad, aunt Maria, uncle Diego, and my cousin were all there, but mom couldn’t come.

Which is the correct way to capitalize this sentence?


My Dad, Aunt Maria, Uncle Diego, and my Cousin were all there, but Mom couldn’t come.
My dad, aunt Maria, uncle Diego, and my cousin were all there, but Mom couldn’t come.
My Dad, aunt Maria, uncle Diego, and my Cousin were all there, but Mom couldn’t come.
My dad, Aunt Maria, Uncle Diego, and my cousin were all there, but Mom couldn’t come.

Answer 6

C, "my dad" isnt capitalised because its a common noun rather than replacing his name (which is why "Mom" is capitalised) and the "Aunt and Uncle" are capitalised because they're used with a proper noun.
