Which of the following is an example of a proper noun? A) Sarah B) dog C) city D) happiness

Understand the Problem

The question is asking us to identify an example of a proper noun from the given options. A proper noun is a specific name used for an individual person, place, or organization, which is different from a common noun that refers to general items or concepts.

More Information

A proper noun names a specific person, place, or thing and is always capitalized. 'Sarah' is a specific name and is capitalized, making it a proper noun.

Tips

Common mistakes include mistaking common nouns (like 'dog' and 'city') for proper nouns because they can also be capitalized when they start a sentence, but they are not names of specific entities.
