Which additional word in the sentence should be capitalized? I called mom on my cell phone from the gymnasium around six o'clock
Katyanochek1 [597]


D. Mom should be capitalized because I believe it is a proper noun.

You can replace the word mom with a person's name. That is not always the case however. For example, I called my mom on my.... If you capitalized mom in this sentence and put a name then it wouldn't make sense because the word my was added. Hopefully this helps and makes sense. Good luck!!!

prisoha [69]

Answer: The strange case of Dr Jekyll mad mr Hyde.

Explanation: The story begins with Utterson and Enfield who were taking their regular walk on Sunday. As these two walked down a street, Mr. Enfield saw an abandoned building which reminded him of an odd story. He narrates the story to his cousin, Mr. Utterson. He said that he had witnessed a man trample over a young girl because she mistakenly ran into him. After their conversation, Mr. Utterson proceeds home. In his study, he found a will of Dr. Jekyll, his friend. Mr Utterson was bothered by the fact that his friend’s will is in favor of a stranger named Mr. Edward Hyde. He asked Dr. Lanyon, their mutual friend, if he knew who Edward Hyde was. Unfortunately, Dr. Lanyon complained that he had not heard anything about Hyde and he had cut ties with Dr. Jekyll because they had a science based disagreement.

aev [14]

Answer:

ROB

Explanation:

Rob is the complete subject since he is the main "character" in the sentence. Mary is secondary. 'Rob' sent a letter to (blank). Without Rob, we wouldn't be reading about sending a letter. Hope that makes sense!
