Answer 2

Punctuation are used to organize a sentence . Moreover, it is used to create clarity and sense or to stress in a sentence. For example quotation marks " ", full stop (.), commas and so on.

Capitalization is a punctuation which refers to the use of an upper case or capital letter of the first letter in a word. There are certain rules that have to be followed to capitalize a letter:

The first word of the sentence and the letter after a period is capitalized.

Proper nouns are capitalized – example: brand names, days of the week and month, country, people place and so forth.

Titles are capitalized.- The president, The chairman.

Therefore, the sentence which is capitalized properly is none of the above.

• As in the first sentence title 'The president' is not capitalized.
• In the second sentence, the word 'summer' is capitalized wrongly as the names of the season are common nouns.
• Lastly, the last sentence does not contain capitalization on title and the proper noun- name of the club.
