In title case, should the word 'of' be capitalized?

• A. Yes
• B. Only if it is the first word
• C. No
• D. Always

Answer: (C)

In title case, you capitalize the main words that carry meaning—nouns, verbs, adjectives, and some adverbs. Short connecting words like “of” are not capitalized in the middle of a title because they’re just links between the important words. The word “of” stays lowercase unless it is the first word (or the last word) of the title. For example, The Sound of Music shows “of” in lowercase, while If a title started with “Of” it would be capitalized as the first word. So, the correct approach is to not capitalize “of” in the middle of a title.
