The correct answer is <span>1) A government position when it comes before a specific name. 2 is incorrect because time of year is almost never capitalized (unless you are talking about names of the months, then yes); 3 is incorrect because there is no reason why you should do that; 4 is incorrect because not all words are capitalized - conjunctions, prepositions, etc. aren't. Number 1 is correct - for example: President Obama. </span>
