Answer to Question 1

C
A rule to be practiced when using abbreviations is to omit the comma before Jr. or Sr. when
either follows a person's name. Do not use Jr. and Sr. with a person's last name only.

Answer to Question 2

B
A writer should capitalize a personal title of a specific person. A title written after a name or
without a name is capitalized when it is the title of a high-ranking national or international
official or it is part of an address.
