Overall, you did a good job with your answers! Well done!
Sure! Let's go through each sentence and determine if there are any errors or if the sentence is correct.
1. Why havent you dotted your j’s?
In this sentence, "haven't" is a contraction of "have not," which is used correctly. However, there is an error with "j's." It should be "j's," indicating the plural possessive form of "j." The correct answer is "j’s’."
2. Ounce for ounce, humans aren’t as strong as most insects.
There is no error in this sentence. Both "humans" and "insects" are plural, but they don't require an apostrophe for plural form. The correct answer is "no error."
3. Isnt anyone’s picture on a one-dollar bill?
There is an error in this sentence. "Isnt" should be "Isn't," which is the contraction of "is not." The correct answer is "Isn’t."
4. That's the only inhabited island on the river.
There is no error in this sentence. The contraction "That's" is the short form of "That is," which is used correctly. The correct answer is "no error."
5. No insect exists that doesnt have three pairs of legs.
There is an error in this sentence. "doesnt" should be "doesn't," which is the contraction of "does not." The correct answer is "doesn’t."
6. The sun warms the part of Earth that its shining on.
There is an error in this sentence. "its" should be "it's," which is the contraction of "it is." The correct answer is "it’s."
7. This cactus hasn't bloomed in five years.
There is no error in this sentence. The contraction "hasn't" is the short form of "has not," which is used correctly. The correct answer is "no error."
8. Im sure he’ll be right back with his tools.
There is no error in this sentence. "Im" should be "I'm," which is the contraction of "I am." The correct answer is "I’m."
So, based on the analysis, the corrections are:
1. j’s’
3. Isn’t
5. doesn’t
6. it’s
8. I’m
The other sentences are correct with no errors.
