Great job on correcting the punctuation! Here's the breakdown and explanation for each correction:
1. Mr and Mrs Lopezs plane tickets, incidentally, were found in the lobby.
- An apostrophe is added after "Lopezs" to indicate possession ("Lopez's").
- A comma is inserted after "tickets" to create a pause and separate the incidentally clause from the rest of the sentence.
2. Look, you've been unusually late all week, and I must take action.
- A comma is added after "Look" to create a pause and indicate a direct address.
- An apostrophe is added in "you've" to indicate a contraction of "you have".
- A comma is added after "week" to separate the dependent clause from the main clause.
- A period is added at the end of the sentence to indicate the end of the statement.
