Question: 1 / 400

Which of the following is a correctly capitalized title?

The Tale of Two Cities

The title "The Tale of Two Cities" is correctly capitalized because it follows the standard rules for capitalization in titles. In English, the first and last words of a title are always capitalized, regardless of their part of speech. Additionally, all major words, typically nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and pronouns, are capitalized. In this title, "The," "Tale," "of," "Two," and "Cities" are capitalized appropriately, fulfilling these capitalization rules.

The other options do not adhere to these conventions. For example, "to kill a mockingbird" fails to capitalize important words like "Kill" and "Mockingbird." Similarly, "the sound and the fury" does not capitalize the first word or any major words. "A man For All Seasons" presents inconsistency by capitalizing "For" but not "man," which should be lowercase because it is not a noun in this context, while "seasons" should also not be capitalized. Therefore, the first option stands out as the only title that is properly capitalized according to the conventions of title case.
