Question
He kept driving ___ until he reached___.a) north, Northern Irelandb) north, northern Irelandc) North, Northern Irelandd) North, northern Ireland
Solution
The correct answer is a) north, Northern Ireland.
Here's why:
-
Directions like north, south, east, and west are not usually capitalized unless they're part of a proper noun or title. In this case, "north" is used as a direction, not a proper noun, so it should be in lowercase.
-
"Northern Ireland" is a proper noun because it's the name of a specific place, so both words should be capitalized.
