Explanation:

Analyze the sentence structure

The sentence provided is: "the best pizza place is lucali's on henry street."
To determine which words require capitalization, we must evaluate each word based on standard English grammar rules regarding sentence beginnings and proper nouns.

Identify the first word of the sentence

The first word of any sentence must always be capitalized.

• The word "the" is the first word of this sentence, so it must be capitalized as "The".

Identify proper nouns for businesses

Proper nouns, which name specific people, places, or organizations, must be capitalized.

• "lucali's" is the specific name of a pizza restaurant (a business). Therefore, it is a proper noun and must be capitalized as "Lucali's".

Identify proper nouns for geographic names

Specific names of streets, roads, and avenues are proper nouns. This includes both the specific name and the general road type when it is part of the official name.

• "henry" is the specific name of the street, so it must be capitalized as "Henry".
• "street" is part of the official name of this specific roadway ("Henry Street"), so it must also be capitalized as "Street".

Evaluate common nouns

Common nouns name general items rather than specific ones and should not be capitalized unless they begin a sentence.

• "pizza" and "place" are common nouns in this context, referring generally to a type of food and a location. They do not require capitalization.

Answer:

• henry (Correct answer)
• the (Correct answer)
