Question
Identify the sentence with the correct capitalization. A) I called the Audubon Society to get advice on attracting Bluebirds to our yard. B) I called the audubon society to get advice on attracting Bluebirds to our yard. C) I called the Audubon society to get advice on attracting bluebirds to our yard. D) I called the Audubon Society to get advice on attracting bluebirds to our yard.
Solution
The sentence with the correct capitalization is D) "I called the Audubon Society to get advice on attracting bluebirds to our yard."
Here's why:
- In sentence A, "Bluebirds" is incorrectly capitalized. Unless it's at the beginning of a sentence or it's a proper noun, a common noun like "bluebirds" should not be capitalized.
- In sentence B, "audubon society" is incorrectly capitalized. It's a proper noun, so both "Audubon" and "Society" should be capitalized.
- In sentence C, "society" is incorrectly capitalized. As part of the proper noun "Audubon Society," it should be capitalized.
- In sentence D, all the capitalization is correct. "I" is always capitalized. "Audubon Society" is a proper noun, so both words are capitalized. "Bluebirds" is a common noun and it's not at the beginning of the sentence, so it's correctly not capitalized.
