You're welcome.
To determine the correct answer for each question, let's analyze the given sentences and evaluate what type of punctuation is missing.
8. "Were invited to the movies with Sam and Alex tonight."
To figure out which punctuation is missing, we need to consider what punctuation is commonly used in this context. In this case, we need a punctuation mark that shows possession between "Sam" and "Alex." Therefore, the correct answer is an apostrophe.
9. "For class tomorrow, I need you to bring the following paint, markers, and glue."
Here, we need a punctuation mark that introduces a list. This mark is used to separate items in a series. Therefore, the correct answer is a colon.
10. "We will visit Chicago, Illinois; Ann Arbor, Michigan; and Orlando, Florida."
In this sentence, we have a list of cities. To show separation between the cities, we need a punctuation mark. A semicolon typically separates items in a list when one or more of the items contain internal punctuation, like the comma in "Chicago, Illinois." Therefore, the correct answer is a semicolon.
So, to summarize:
8. The missing punctuation is an apostrophe.
9. The missing punctuation is a colon.
10. The missing punctuation is a semicolon.
