(13) What have they accomplished so far Which sentence contains a word that should be capitalized?

Answer 1

The correct answer is (12) It was started in 2009 by actor Matt Damon and Gary White, the co-founder of Water partners. The word that should be capitalized is partners: Water Partners. The noun "partner" is normally a common noun, which means it shouldn't be capitalized in normal circumstances. However, here it represents the name of a company which is called Water Partners. It is just like with Warner Brothers (even though it's abbreviated as Warner Bros) - brothers is normally a common noun, but in this case, it is part of the company's name.
