The guideline to capitalize both parts of an interrupted quotation is:

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not specified
• D. Sometimes

Answer: (B)

When a quotation is split, how you capitalize the second piece depends on sentence structure, not on a blanket rule to capitalize both parts. The second fragment is capitalized only if it starts a new sentence within the quotation; otherwise it’s treated as a continuation of the first sentence and is not capitalized.

For example, if the split reads: "We must hurry," she said, "or we will be late." The second part does not begin a new sentence, so it starts with a lowercase or, more naturally, remains part of the same sentence. If, however, the split reads: "We must hurry," she said, "We will be late." the second fragment begins a new sentence within the quotation, so it is capitalized.

So the guideline to capitalize both parts every time is not correct; capitalization depends on whether the second part starts a new sentence.
