Capitalize each item in a list.

• A. True
• B. Sometimes
• C. Never
• D. False

Answer: (D)

Capitalization in a list isn’t a universal rule; it depends on the form of the items. If each item is a complete sentence, you capitalize the first word of that item (and proper nouns) as you would at the start of any sentence. If the items are short phrases or single words, many style guides treat them as lowercase unless the items are proper nouns or there’s a specific stylistic reason to capitalize. Because of this variation, the statement that you should capitalize each item in a list is not always true. In practice, you’d capitalize items only when the structure calls for it (full sentences) and often leave non-sentence items in lowercase. That’s why the given answer is the best choice: the rule isn’t absolute.
