Which capitalization rule is correct according to the material?

• A. Do not capitalize seasons of the year.
• B. Capitalize every word.
• C. Capitalize only proper nouns.
• D. Capitalize seasons of the year.

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is that seasons of the year are treated as capitalized terms in this material. That rule says you write Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter with capital letters when you’re referring to the seasons themselves, treating them like distinct designations similar to proper nouns. This is why the correct choice is to capitalize seasons of the year.

If you contrast with the other ideas: not capitalizing seasons would go against the given rule; capitalizing every word is overly broad and would misapply capitalization in many other cases; and “capitalize only proper nouns” wouldn’t capture the specific instruction that the seasons themselves are capitalized in this material.
