Answer 1

1.) Their boys' varsity team one the state championship.

Error : Their Boys' Varsity Team won.....



2.) The Bubonic Plague was nicknamed the black Death.

Error: The Black Death



3.) The gilrs were exhausted after the track meet.

Error: The girls (not gilrs) were exhausted after the track event.



4.) When the English final is over.

Error :When the English final (of what?) is over..... - what's the rest of the sentence?



5.) Because her mother visited Pearl Harbor, the young girl wanted to visit there, too.

a.) Correct



6.) The kite wrestle, bobbed, and dipped in the wind.

Error: The kite wrestled (not wrestle), bobbed and dipped...



7.) The house was quite and still.

Error: The house was quiet (not quite!) and still.



8.) The five stolen jewels were taken from the safety deposit box right under the nose of security.

Error: Omit stolen (to include it implies they were already stolen when placed in the safety deposit box!) The five jewels were taken from the safety deposit box right under the nose of the Security Guard.



9.) Mrs. Kunkle was glad that the entire sophomore remembered to attend the pizza party today.

Error: I think it makes more sense as ' Mrs. Kunkle was glad that the entire sophomore year/class...'



10.) The convertible was to expensive for the teenager two buy.

BIG, basic, primary school Error!: The convertible was TOO expensive for the teenager TO buy.



11.) The fruit of the spirit is listed in the book of Galatians.

a.) Error: The fruit of the Spirit is listed in the book of Galatians. (Just read what Galatians chapter 5 verses 22 - 23 says!)



12.) Uncle Tom wanted to borrow Uncle Larry's radio for the afternoon at the beach

a.) Error - only just. A full stop is required after 'beach.'



13.) The dog went under the porch & discovered a soup bone.

Error - in that it is poorly phrased; soups don't have bones! However if it was chicken soup for example, it may be a chicken bone. It would be better as ' The dog went under the porch & discovered a bone from the chicken soup which had been discarded.'



14.) The last few weeks of school was fast and furious.

Error: The last few weeks of school WERE fast and furious.



15.) The old hunting dawg trapped a coon in an old oak tree in the middle of the afternoon.

Error. This may be intended as colloquial American English, but it would be better to say dog and raccoon rather than dawg and coon.



16.) The Miami heat lost to the New York Knicks in a play-off game.

Error: What is the sport? What is the name of the Miami team? Is it The Miami Heat? Or do you mean that a heat of the (unnamed) sport was held in Miami? If so you need to state the team name.



17.) They are you're children so discipline them.

Error: (again, a basic primary school error!) 'They are YOUR children, so discipline them.' OR:

'THEY'RE (contraction of 'they are') YOUR children, so....'



18.) Tommy went to Balton high school for basketball practice.

Error: Balton High School. Proper nouns ALWAYS begin with capital letters!



19.) In Romeo and Juliet the Nurse is garrulous.

Error: In 'Romeo and Juliet', the nurse is garrulous.



20.) The high school celebrated the end of the academic year.

Error: The high school STUDENTS celebrated the end of the academic year.



Edit: Why the thumbs down? Were you expecting everyone to say that you have made no errors?

The truth is, with the exception of number 5, they are ALL wrong! You have made plenty of grammatical errors and spelling mistakes, some of which I would not expect to see from a primary school child.
