The problem is with the third format, the instructions are to make it be Titlecased, which is actually different from simply being capitalized (even though the task instructions does not make that super clear).

A Titlecased string is one where each word starts with a capital letter, for example Hello World!. The capitalize function only capitalizes the first word in a string so it will look like this Hello world!.

To make a string Titlecased you can use the title function.
