Which words in the following sentence should be capitalized?

Question

My teacher, mrs grimsley, told us about the mighty kingdoms and empires that existed for hundreds of years in africa.
A. Mrs. Grimsley; My Teacher
B. Mrs. Grimsley; Kingdoms
C. Mrs. Grimsley; Africa
D. Mrs. Grimsley; Hundreds

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. Mrs. Grimsley; Africa.

In the sentence, "Mrs. Grimsley" should be capitalized as it is a proper noun (the name of the teacher), and "Africa" should be capitalized as it is a proper noun (the name of a continent). "My teacher" does not need to be capitalized, nor do "kingdoms" or "hundreds".
