Answer 1

1. The underlined word "good" is used incorrectly in the sentence. It should be "well" instead, as it is describing how the person performed on the test. The correct sentence would be "I did well on that test."

2. The underlined words "capital building" are used correctly in the sentence. "Capital" refers to the main government building in Washington, D.C.

3. The underlined word "principal" is used correctly in the sentence. "Principal" refers to the head or leader of a school.

4. The underlined word "loose" is used incorrectly in the sentence. It should be "lose" instead, as it refers to the team not winning the game. The correct sentence would be "Even though my favorite basketball team should have won, it looked like they were going to lose the game."
