Explanation:

Analyze capitalization rules for religious denominations

Proper nouns, including names of specific religious groups and denominations, must be capitalized. The word "methodists" refers to members of a specific Christian denomination (Methodism) and is a proper noun.

Evaluate other options

• "summer" (seasons are not capitalized unless part of a proper name).
• "uncle" (kinship terms are only capitalized when they immediately precede a name or are used as a proper name, not when preceded by a possessive pronoun like "my").
• "weekend" (common noun, not capitalized).

Answer:

• Summer
• Uncle
• Weekend
• Methodists (Correct answer)
