Question

Punctuate the following sentence:
Venice is a city in northern Italy.

• A. Venice is a City in northern Italy
• B. Venice is a city in Northern Italy.
• C. Venice is a city in northern italy,
• D. Venice is a City in Northern Italy

Answer 1

The correct option is B Venice is a city in Northern Italy.

Option B is the correct answer as the proper noun, 'Italy' is correctly capitalized; 'Northern' is capitalized because we capitalize directions when they refer to specific regions. The sentence also ends with a full stop.

Option A is incorrect because the sentence doesn't end with a full stop and 'northern' isn't capitalized.

Option C is incorrect because of the comma at the end of the sentence, making it incomplete as a comma signifies a pause and that the sentence is not complete yet. Also 'Northern Italy' is not correctly capitalised

Option D is incorrect because the initial letter of the word 'city' is capitalized unnecessarily as it is not a proper noun.
