    Re-think 1 and 9.
For 8, is the city meant? or the building?

    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")

    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!

    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
