Re-think 1 and 9.

For 8, is the city meant? or the building?

Answered by Priya
Sorry, I made a mistake for #1, the correct answer is -

I think (there, their, they're) son is the quarterback of the team. ---> "there"


Question #2.

She performed (good, well) on the balance beam. ---> "well"

(In this sentence well is an adverb that modifying the verb "performed")
Answered by Ms. Sue
You're right about 9. She performed <b>well</b>.

For # 1, consider these examples:

There are many players on the team.
I live over there.

Their house has white siding.
Have you seen their dog?

They're going to Disney World.
I think they're awesome!

What about capitol and capital?

Answered by Priya
Sorry I made the same mistake again for #1

I think (there, their, they're) son is the quarterback of the team. ---> "their"

"Their" is a 3rd person pronoun, but in this sentence it used as a possessive adjective.


Question #7

The streets surrounding the (capital, capitol) will be closed today. ---> “capitol

"Capital is the name of the most important city in the country. (2) You start a sentence with a capital letter or name a proper noun with a capital letter. (3) The capital of a bussiness.

Example:

1. Georgetown is the capital of Guyana.

2. My name is Mithra.

3. The money that you have when u start a business.


“Capitol” refers to a building in which a legislative assemble meets.

E.g. Parliament building
