    • Mr. Edgar watched Spider man with his wife

    • Mr. Edgar watched Spider Man with His Wife

    Correct Answer
    A. Mr. Edgar watched Spider-Man with his wife
    Explanation
    The sentence "Mr. Edgar watched Spider-Man with his wife" uses capital letters correctly. The title "Mr." is capitalized as it is an abbreviation for "Mister" and should always be capitalized. The proper noun "Edgar" is also capitalized, as it is a person's name. The names of movies, such as "Spider Man," should have the first letter of each word capitalized. The pronoun "his" and the common noun "wife" are not capitalized, as they are not proper nouns.

The comma before "and" is called the Oxford comma, which is often used to clarify the separation of list items. Option B is missing the Oxford comma, which is grammatically acceptable but less clear. Option C has an unnecessary comma after "and." Option D lacks commas between the items, making it incorrect.
