Skill 6: "WHERE" QUESTIONS

A "capital" is the location of the center of government, while a "capitol" is the actual building where the government officials meet. Thus, in the United States, for example, the Capitol building is located in Washington, D.C., which is the capital city of the United States.
The question:
Where in the passage does the author define the word "capital"?
