Answer to Question 1

B
The word city should not be capitalized in the statement They want to set up operations in
the City of Paris. Capitalize the word city only when it is a part of the corporate name of a
city. The rules of capitalization help writers make words distinctive, emphasize words, and
show that certain words are especially important.

Answer to Question 2

C
The statement that has been capitalized accurately is The employees at the headquarters
use a Canon photocopier. It is important for writers to distinguish between a proper noun that
is part of the official name of a product and a common noun that names the general class of
the product.
