Answer 1

Read up on italics here:

C is correct for the second one.

Answer 2

oh, so is it A for the first one?

Answer 3

It could be D for #1, depending on the official name of the newspaper. The official name is, however, Chicago Tribune, so both words must be italicized. Maybe "The" should also be italicized, but usually is not. I don't see anything wrong in any of the choices or #1.

You are correct on #3. A comma is needed after "for example".

And DO learn to spell 'grammar"!

Answer 4

By the way, there is a glaring error in A in question #1 that has nothing to do with italics. See if you can spot it.

Answer 5

is it Mystery at sea because on my notes it says that novels should have a quotation mark?
:D

Answer 6

"was" is the wrong verb case. What would you use with the plural "women"?

And I am mistaken! The name of the airplane should be in italics. Names of ships are always italicized, so airplane names should also be italicized. That's the one that is wrong. I'm sorry.
