Which sentence uses correct capitalization?
A) When our Supervisor, Beth Hein, announced the merger, many employees were surprised.
B) Only one Professor, William H. Schneider, attended the demonstration that opposed a tuition increase.
C) Students thanked their ​club president, Jason Schmidt, who led the fund-raising event.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sentence correctly capitalizes the title "club president" and the person's name "Jason Schmidt," but not other words in the sentence such as "fund-raising event." A and B both incorrectly capitalize common nouns like "Supervisor" and "Professor," which should only be capitalized when they are a part of a specific name or title.
