Since the user has not requested an explanation, topic teaching, or practice generation, I will proceed directly to solving the quiz as a standard educational assistant would for a homework help request.

The image is a "Capitalization Quiz" worksheet. The instructions ask to "Put a check mark next to each situation in which a letter should be capitalized."

Here is the step-by-step evaluation of each item on the list:

1. Proper nouns: Yes. Proper nouns (like names of specific people, places, or things) always start with a capital letter.
2. Names of kinds of animals: No. Common names of animals (like "dog," "cat," "eagle") are not capitalized unless they are part of a specific name or at the start of a sentence.
3. Names of Cities, states, and countries: Yes. These are proper nouns and must be capitalized (e.g., Paris, Texas, France).
4. Brand names: Yes. Brand names are proper nouns (e.g., Nike, Apple, Coca-Cola).
5. Names of kinds of trees: No. Common tree names are not capitalized (e.g., oak, pine, maple).
6. Days of the week: Yes. Days are proper nouns (e.g., Monday, Tuesday).
7. Months of the year: Yes. Months are proper nouns (e.g., January, February).
8. The first word in a sentence: Yes. Every sentence must start with a capital letter.
9. The last word in a sentence: No. The last word is only capitalized if it is a proper noun or the word "I". Generally, the rule is about the *first* word.
10. Names of holidays: Yes. Holidays are proper nouns (e.g., Christmas, Thanksgiving).
11. The words "left" and "right": No. These are directions and are not capitalized unless they are part of a proper name (like "Right Bank") or at the start of a sentence.
12. The words "north," "etc.", when indicating a direction: No. Compass directions are not capitalized (e.g., "go north"). They are only capitalized if they refer to a specific region (e.g., "The North").
13. With abbreviations: Yes. Abbreviations use capital letters for the letters they replace (e.g., USA, Dr., Mr.).
14. With titles: Yes. Titles of people (when used before a name) and titles of works (books, movies) are capitalized (e.g., President Lincoln, *Harry Potter*).

Question 15: "When is a person's name always capitalized?"
