I am planning a trip to an Eastern State. Generally, names of geographical areas, such as continents or parts of continents are capitalized, but not always. Here, "Eastern State" is incorrectly capitalized because it refers to a state, which is not considered a reference to a geographical region. Even the plural "eastern states" is not capitalized. Answer A is not the correct choice because "Saharan Desert" is correctly capitalized. Answer C is not the correct choice because "South Pole" is correctly capitalized as a geographical region. Answer D is not the correct choice because "Far East" is correctly capitalized as a geographical region.
