A all of the nouns. It could have been d, but if the quote is embedded, capitalizing the first letter would be incorrect grammar.

The best answer here is B, but only if by "important words" it means "proper nouns."

A is wrong because not ALL nouns will be capitalized in a quotation. Only proper nouns will be capitalized. For instance, you would NOT capitalize a quote in this way:

• The manager proclaimed, "No Visitors to Yosemite National Park will be allowed to bring their Pets or their Cars with them."

In the above sentence, "visitors," "pets," and "cars" are all nouns, but they don't need to be capitalized because they are only common nouns. Only "Yosemite National Park," which is a proper noun (because it refers to a specific, named place) needs to be capitalized.

C is wrong because it simply makes no sense and conforms to no rule of capitalization.

D is wrong because the first word of a quote does not ALWAYS need to be capitalized. If the quote is embedded in a sentence, then its first word does not require capitalization (unless, of course, that word is a proper noun).

But please be away that this question is very misleading, since it's not clear that "important words" means "proper nouns." You might want to point this out to your teacher.

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Diane couldn't concentrate on General Hospital because Santana, her beagle who had been cooped up in the house all day, wanted to take a long walk around the lake.

Explanation:

Commas in this case go after the word Santana and after the word day.

The objective with this sentence is too pay careful attention to its grammar construction.

The connector because in this case is a subordinating linker which means that it is connecting a subordinate clause to an independent one and the comma is not necessary.

What is Laertes first question to Claudius about his fathers death?
insens350 [35]

Let this be so.

His means of death, his obscure burial—

No trophy, sword, nor hatchment o'er his bones,

No noble rite nor formal ostentation,

Cry to be heard, as 'twere from heaven to earth,

That I must call't in question.
