10. These colors (complement, compliment) each other well. ---> "complement"
(Note: I’m not confident with #3 & #4 choice).
Re-think 1 and 9.
For 8, is the city meant? or the building?

Sorry, I made a mistake for #1, the correct answer is -
I think (there, their, they're) son is the quarterback of the team. ---> "there"
Question #2.
She performed (good, well) on the balance beam. ---> "well"
(In this sentence well is an adverb that modifying the verb "performed")
You're right about 9. She performed well.
For # 1, consider these examples:
There are many players on the team.
I live over there.
Their house has white siding.
Have you seen their dog?
They're going to Disney World.
I think they're awesome!
What about capitol and capital?
Sorry I made the same mistake again for #1
I think (there, their, they're) son is the quarterback of the team. ---> "their"
"Their" is a 3rd person pronoun, but in this sentence it used as a possessive adjective.
Question #7
The streets surrounding the (capital, capitol) will be closed today. ---> “capitol
"Capital is the name of the most important city in the country. (2) You start a sentence with a capital letter or name a proper noun with a capital letter. (3) The capital of a bussiness.
Example:
1. Georgetown is the capital of Guyana.
2. My name is Mithra.
3. The money that you have when u start a business.
“Capitol” refers to a building in which a legislative assemble meets.
E.g. Parliament building
Yes! Your answers are right now.
Thank you Ms. Sue and Writeacher.
Great job on most of your answers! Let's go through the ones you are not confident about:
3. He is much bigger (than, then) remember him being. ---> "than"
Your answer is correct! "Than" is the correct word to use in this sentence to make a comparison between the size he is now and the size you remember him being.
4. The (principle, principal) of the school graduated with my sister. ---> "principal"
Your answer is correct! "Principal" is the correct word to use in this sentence. "Principal" refers to the head of a school, while "principle" refers to a rule or guiding belief.
Keep up the good work!
