📌 Explanation:

- Proper nouns are specific names of people, places, events, or organizations and are always capitalized.
- Common nouns are general terms and are not capitalized unless at the beginning of a sentence.
- Some words like "History" in "History of the world" might seem like a proper noun because it's part of a title, but if it's not a named work (like "The History of the World"), it’s generally considered common. However, in educational contexts, it's often treated as proper when referring to a specific course or subject.

This exercise helps students distinguish between general categories (common) and specific instances (proper).
