Explanation
Answer: B - In most states, the Superior Court is a court of general jurisdiction. The word “court” is capitalized when referring to the United States Supreme Court or to a specific court or judge. Answer B is the correct choice because “Superior Court” is capitalized in a sentence that does not refer to a specific superior court. Answer A is not the correct choice because “Supreme Court” is a properly capitalized reference to the U.S. Supreme Court. Answer C is not the correct choice because “Wisconsin Supreme Court” refers to a specific state supreme court. Answer D is not the correct choice because “Court” is a reference to the U.S. Supreme Court.
