Read the two sentences given and choose which sentence (A or B) correctly indicates all the words that should be capitalized.

Question

Choose the correct sentence.

The Mississippi river begins its journey North in Louisiana.


The Mississippi River begins its journey north in Louisiana.

Answer 1

The correct sentence is:

The Mississippi River begins its journey north in Louisiana.

In this sentence, "Mississippi River" is a proper noun and should be capitalized, while "north" is not capitalized because it is used as a direction rather than a part of a proper name.
