Question

Sonya, my Mother, owns a bakery, and she makes the best brownies in town.

Is the word mother capitalized correctly in the sentence?
A. Yes, since Sonya is the owner of the bakery.
B. Yes, since Sonya must be capitalized, so should mother.
C. No, because it is a parenthetical element.
D. No, because a possessive pronoun comes before the word.

Answer 1

Answer: the answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is C. No, because it is a parenthetical element. This means it is not essential to the meaning of the sentence. The sentence can be read and understood without "my Mother" being included. Mother should only be capitalized if it is the start of a sentence or an essential component of a name, like "Mother Nature", "Mother Goose", or " Reverend Mother".
