All are correct except for 1, 4, 12, and 16.

Mrs Sue, for #1, I think the answer is A because "it is" would not make sense. Therefore, you would not use it's.

Yes. 1A.

Thank you!!!!

You're welcome.

4 B is right. It's a conditional sentence, using "if.",

12. I would choose A.
16. Magazine article titles are enclosed in quotation marks.

Thanks!!

So, #4 is B, because when using if, it is past tense correct?

# 12 is C right? (this was an error...meant to list C)
#16 - B? If this is correct, can you please help me understand why underline vs italicized is interchangeable?
Thanks

To confirm if your answers are correct, let's go through each question and explanation step by step:

1. The correct answer is A. "its." To determine the correct pronoun, we need to identify the possessive pronoun for the dog's leash. In this case, the possessive pronoun for "dog" is "its."

2. The correct answer is D. "its/humankind." To choose the correct pronouns for this sentence, we need to match the possessive pronoun "its" to "technology" and the objective pronoun "humankind" to "all its advances."

3. The correct answer is B. "Every editor has his or her job to do." This choice provides a gender-inclusive option by using both "his" and "her" to refer to "editor."

4. The correct answer is B. "were/ would try." This question tests your understanding of the subjunctive mood. The hypothetical situation in the "if" clause requires the subjunctive form "were," and the corresponding conditional verb form is "would try."

5. The correct answer is B. "broken/worn." To determine the correct verb forms, we need to use "broken" as the past participle form of "break" and "worn" as the past participle form of "wear" to match the past tense in the sentence.

6. The correct answer is A. "will teach/have done." This choice uses the future tense "will teach" to describe a future action and the perfect tense "have done" to describe an action completed before the future action.

7. The correct answer is D. "requires/provides." The subject "Supreme Court" is singular, so the verb should also be singular, making "requires" the correct form. Additionally, the verb "provides" should match the subject "officers."

8. The correct answer is D. "quietly anywhere." This choice correctly pairs the adverb "quietly" with the adverbial phrase "anywhere."

9. The correct answer is D. "easier." To compare two things, you should use the comparative form of the adjective, which in this case is "easier."

10. The correct answer is B. "Social issues involving computers and society are privacy, unemployment, and technological complexity." This choice correctly uses commas to separate the items in a list.

11. The correct answer is A. "Boston, Massachusetts played an important role in American history and politics." This choice correctly uses commas to set off the additional descriptor "Massachusetts."

12. The correct answer is A. "comma." In this case, an explanatory clause, phrase, or single word is introduced by a comma, not a colon or semicolon.

13. Your answer, D. "change womans to woman's," is incorrect. The correct answer is A. "correctly punctuated."

14. The correct answer is A. "correctly punctuated." The sentence is already punctuated correctly.

15. Your answer, C. "add a hyphen after Dallas and delete the hyphen after based," is incorrect. The correct answer is A. "correctly punctuated." The sentence is already punctuated correctly.

16. Your answer, D. "none of the above," is incorrect. The correct answer is B. "underline or italicize Camper's Guide." Both "Bug Off" and "Camper's Guide" should be underlined or italicized to indicate that they are titles.

Please note that there might be different style guides and preferences, but based on the most commonly accepted rules, these are the correct answers.
