A) Gulf Of Mexico
B) Gulf Shores
C) Alabama
D) Shores

Answer 1

The phrase 'Gulf Of Mexico' is incorrectly capitalized in the sentence. 'Of' should be lowercase unless it is the first word in the sentence.

Step-by-step explanation:

The word Gulf Of Mexico from the sentence is incorrectly capitalized. In proper noun phrases like 'Gulf of Mexico', prepositions such as 'of' should not be capitalized unless they are the first word in the sentence. The correct capitalization is 'Gulf of Mexico', with a lowercase 'o' in 'of'.

Answer 2

A) Gulf Of Mexico
Reason: The word "of" is a preposition, and prepositions should never be capitalized.
