Find the error, if any, in this sentence:
"We visited Barcelona, Spain; Marseille, France; Rome, Italy;
and Athens, Greece on our European cruise." - correct answer-
no error
Explanation:
Although it may seem like a lot of semicolons in one sentence,
they are all necessary to separate the list of locations. In this
case, the commas separate the city from the country and the
semicolons separate those four locations.
Find the error, if any, in this sentence:

correct answer-On the advice of my lawyer, I refuse to answer
that question.
Explanation:
, Advice and advise are often confused. Advice is a noun, a
recommendation about what to do. Advise is a verb, to
recommend something. They cannot be used interchangeably.
To know which one to use, determine which part of speech the
word is in a sentence. If it is acting as a noun (a "something"),
use advice; if it is acting as a verb (something someone is
doing), use advise.
Find the error, if any, in this sentence:
"Mom was sure Brian would loose his wallet if he kept it in his
pocket while skateboarding." - correct answer-Mom was sure
Brian would lose his wallet if he kept it in his pocket while
skateboarding.
Explanation:
One o makes a big difference. In the case of lose vs. loose,
loose means to unfasten or set free (Mark got the turtle loose
from the plastic noose.). But, lose one "o" and now you've
changed the word to mean being deprived of or unable to find
something. Remember, you lose one o and you get a satisfying
"oo" when you loosen your tight belt.
