The sentence "Help me shovel the driveway please?" is incorrectly punctuated.
The incorrect punctuation is in the sentence: "Help me shovel the driveway please?" It should be: "Help me shovel the driveway, please?" The comma is needed to separate the greeting ("Help me shovel the driveway") from the polite request ("please").
To determine which sentence is incorrectly punctuated, we need to look for any errors in punctuation. Here are the provided sentences:
1. Last week we had a huge snowstorm.
2. Last week we had a huge snowstorm.
3. Help me shovel the driveway please?
4. Help me shovel the driveway please?
5. Be careful not to slip on the ice.
Both sentences 1 and 2 are identical, and both sentences 3 and 4 are also identical. Therefore, we can eliminate either sentence 1 or 2, as well as either sentence 3 or 4, since they are duplicates.
This leaves us with sentence 5: "Be careful not to slip on the ice." To check its punctuation, we can look for any errors. In this sentence, we can see that there is no punctuation error present. Therefore, the correct answer is that none of the provided sentences are incorrectly punctuated.
It is important to note that while there may be differences in punctuation style depending on the context or specific style guide being used, the provided sentences do not show any obvious errors.
