Answer :

  1. Let's look at the options provided to determine which one properly applies capitalization rules.

A. We have eaten at every Vietnamese Restaurant in the City.

B. We have eaten at every Vietnamese Restaurant in the city.

C. We have eaten at every Vietnamese restaurant in the City.

D. We have eaten at every Vietnamese restaurant in the city.

According to standard capitalization rules, only proper nouns and the first word of a sentence should be capitalized. In these options, "Vietnamese" is a proper adjective derived from the proper noun "Vietnam." Therefore, it should be capitalized. However, common nouns like "restaurant" and "city" should not be capitalized unless they are part of a proper noun or start a sentence.

Looking at option D, "We have eaten at every Vietnamese restaurant in the city," this sentence properly applies capitalization rules – only "Vietnamese" is capitalized as it is a proper adjective.

Therefore, the correct choice is:
D. We have eaten at every Vietnamese restaurant in the city.

  1. Now, let's identify the correct option for capitalization in the poem's title.

A. I read a poem titled "tender buttons."

B. I read a Poem titled "Tender buttons."

C. I read a poem titled "Tender Buttons."

D. I read a Poem titled "Tender Buttons."

For titles of works, each main word in the title typically needs to be capitalized. Articles, short prepositions, and conjunctions are usually not capitalized unless they are the first word in the title. In this case, "Tender Buttons" is the title of a work by Gertrude Stein. Both "Tender" and "Buttons" should be capitalized as they are main words in the title.

Thus, the correctly capitalized sentence is:
C. I read a poem titled "Tender Buttons."

In summary, the correct answers for the questions are:

36: D

37: C
