00 Yes, 01i00appear02i00 (and 01i00disappear02i00) can be used without a preposition, but not in your sample sentence. That is, one cannot 01i00appear an exam02i00 -- unless this is an abbreviated and somewhat poetic form of 01

0Adding to what Jim already commented, all proper names which include name of people and countries, titles, date of the week and the beginning of a sentence all require [capitalization]. 0-

0And the first personal pronoun. 050010id1
