Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dr. Stanley R. Smithson, M.D. Answer A is the correct choice because "Dr." before a name and "M.D." after the same name is not correct. Use either "Dr." before, or "M.D." after, but not both. The same applies for "D.O." and "Ph.D." Answer B is not the correct choice because "Ms." is the accepted abbreviation used before a woman's name. Answer C is not the correct choice because "B.C." is the accepted abbreviation for "Before Christ" ("B.C.E." is the accepted abbreviation for the religiously neutral term "Before the Common Era"). Answer D is not the correct choice because "Jr." is the accepted abbreviation for "Junior," which is used to indicate a son with the same name as his father.
