Choose the sentence with correct capitalization according to standard academic conventions:
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Next semester, Professor Al-Sabah will teach Introduction to Organic Chemistry and an advanced course in history.
- Step 1: Titles immediately preceding a proper name are capitalized ('Professor Al-Sabah').
- Step 2: Specific official course titles are capitalized as proper nouns ('Introduction to Organic Chemistry').
- Step 3: General academic disciplines without a language name or course number are lowercase ('history', but 'English' or 'Chemistry 101').
- Step 4: Option 1 adheres strictly to these capitalization rules.
Answer
Next semester, Professor Al-Sabah will teach Introduction to Organic Chemistry and an advanced course in history.
Why not the others: Sentence 2 fails to capitalize the title 'Professor' and the specific course title; Sentence 3 capitalizes 'Advanced Course' inappropriately; Sentence 4 capitalizes 'History' as a general field.
