Setting a place name in capitals rather than lower case on a map usually signals

  • A.that the position given is only approximate
  • B.that the named feature lies under water
  • C.that the name is in a foreign language
  • D.a higher rank in the settlement hierarchy

Answer: D

Correct answer: a higher rank in the settlement hierarchy

Capitals, larger sizes and heavier weights are used together to signal importance, so a reader can see the rank of a place from its lettering alone. The convention is so well established that departing from it misleads even when the legend explains the departure.
