Which one of the following words shouldn't be capitalized?
A. Abilene
B. Red
C. King
D. Cattle
Answer (2)
The only words that should be capitalized in a sentence are the first word and proper nouns, which are specific people, places, or things. (Ex. Europe, McDonalds). The only word that should be capitalized is Abilene , because it is a specific city. Red, king, and cattle are all common nouns and should not be capitalized unless they are the first word of a sentence.
The word that shouldn't be capitalized is Red, as it is a common noun. Abilene is a proper noun because it is the name of a specific city. King is also a common noun unless used as a title before a name, and Cattle is a common noun regarding livestock.
