Question

Please read the following sentence to answer the question. Sonya, my Mother, owns a bakery, and she makes the best brownies in town. Is the word mother capitalized correctly in the sentence? A. No, because a possessive pronoun comes before the word. B. Yes, since Sonya must be capitalized, so should mother. C. Yes, since Sonya is the owner of the bakery. D. No, because it is a parenthetical element.

Answer 1

The word 'mother' should be capitalised in place of someone's name.  However, since you have already mentioned that she is called 'Sonya', the word 'mother' should not be capitalised.
