In the following sentence, which word should not be capitalized?
"After talking with President Hilda Bruckner, Morton decided that the Insurance industry would provide a suitable career for someone who was a graduate of the Department of Business at Gable University."
A) Department
B) President
C) Gable
D) Insurance
E) University
Answer: D
Explanation: D) President is capitalized because it is a title of a person. Hilda Bruckner is capitalized because it is a proper noun, the name of a person. The Department of Business is capitalized because it identifies an official organization. Gable University is capitalized because it is a proper noun and the name of an institution. Insurance is neither a proper noun nor the name of something. It is an ordinary adjective, so it should not be capitalized.
