Part A has four multiple-choice questions about identifying groups of proper nouns, spotting capitalization mistakes in sentences, and matching common nouns like hospital to a possible proper noun form. Part B uses five fill-in-the-blank items about Maple Street versus street, naming a state, and writing the first letter of a person's name correctly.
