Which of the following phrases is correctly capitalized?

rise of the West
Amazing grace
Of Mice and Men
the Rise Of The West

The correct answer is: Of Mice and Men

The phrase "Of Mice and Men" is correctly capitalized because it follows the standard conventions for titles of literary works. In English, titles typically capitalize the first and last words, as well as any major words in between, regardless of their part of speech. In this case, "Of," "Mice," and "Men" are all significant components of the title, which is a classic novel. Other choices either fail to follow capitalization rules specific to titles or do not represent a title or proper noun. "rise of the West" does not capitalize the first letter of the first word or the significant word "West." "Amazing grace" improperly capitalizes only the first word while not treating "grace" as a capitalized term according to title capitalization rules. "the Rise Of The West" inappropriately capitalizes "Of" in a context where it should not be capitalized, leading to inconsistency in style.
