The task is to rewrite the sentences with correct capitalization. Here's how to solve it step by step:
Rules for Capitalization:
1.
Proper Nouns: Names of people, places, and specific titles should be capitalized.
2.
First Word of a Sentence: The first word of every sentence should be capitalized.
3.
Titles: Titles (e.g., Mr., Mrs., Dr.) should be capitalized.
4.
Names: First names and last names should always be capitalized.
