Sure! Let's go through each sentence and determine the type of punctuation that is missing.
9. In the sentence "My best friend's new dog won't stop barking," an apostrophe is missing. It should be "friend's" to indicate possession.
10. In the sentence "Can't you just see the look on his face when he finds out about the party," a semicolon is missing. It should be "Can't you just see the look on his face; when he finds out about the party."
11. In the sentence "Martha isn't with me; she decided to come alone," a semicolon is missing. It should be "Martha isn't with me; she decided to come alone."
12. In the sentence "For class tomorrow, I need you to bring the following: paint, markers, and glue," a colon is missing. It should be "following: paint, markers, and glue" to introduce a list.
You did a great job, except for sentence 9 which requires an apostrophe instead of the given choices.
