Paralegal PACE Practice Test Questions

Answer: C - The district of Columbia is the capital of the United States. The terms “city,” “county,” “state,” and similar terms are capitalized if they follow the name of the city, county, or state and are considered part of the name. Answer C is the correct answer because “District of Columbia” (with “district” capitalized) is the proper, full name for the U.S. capital. Neither Answer A nor Answer B are correct choices because “city” and “state” are not capitalized. Answer D is not the correct choice because “City of New Orleans” does not refer to a government.
