B. I was hoping the John, my Uncle, would pay us a visit.
C. For many people living in Utah, Winter is a favorite season because of the reputable snow conditions.
D. What did you get dad for his birthday?

Answer 1

A.

Now add a "g" at the end of "establishin" for correct spelling.

Answer 2

I'm going with A. "Constitution" should be capitalized -- since it is the name of the document. Looking at an artical in Wikipedia, I saw that they capitalize it.

B is not right -- since 'uncle' should not be capitalized. It would be capitalized if it were "Uncle John" -- but not "John, my uncle."

C seems like it should be right. I usually capitalize seasons. But I seem to remember that if it is a generic winter, it is not capitalized -- while it is capitalized if you are referring to a specific one.

D is wrong, because Dad is used as a name.title and shoul dbe capitalized. If you said "his dad" then no capitals.

A
