question 12 (5 points)
choose the phrase thats correctly capitalized.
a) a cold, snowy winter
b) an italian grocery
c) martin luther king day
d) a greek myth

Explanation:

Analyze capitalization of each option

• Option A: "a cold, snowy Winter" is incorrect because seasons (winter, spring, summer, autumn/fall) are not capitalized unless they are part of a proper noun or title.
• Option B: "an Italian Grocery" is incorrect because "grocery" is a common noun and should not be capitalized here.
• Option C: "Martin Luther King day" is incorrect because "Day" is part of the official holiday name "Martin Luther King Jr. Day" and must be capitalized.
• Option D: "a Greek myth" is correct because "Greek" is a proper adjective derived from the proper noun "Greece" and must be capitalized, while "myth" is a common noun and should remain lowercase.

Answer:

• (A) a cold, snowy Winter
• (B) an Italian Grocery
• (C) Martin Luther King day
• (D) a Greek myth (Correct answer)
