Which of the following changes to the sentence above would correct the capitalization error?
A. The scientist's hypothesis was that the new drug would have a positive effect on the patients.
B. the scientist's hypothesis was that the new drug would have a positive effect on the patients.
C. The Scientist's Hypothesis was that the new drug would have a positive effect on the patients.
D. the scientist's Hypothesis was that the new drug would have a positive effect on the patients.

Correct Answer is: A

The only error in the sentence is the capitalization of the word "Hypothesis." Only the first letter of the first word of a sentence should be capitalized, so the correct answer is A.
