Let’s go through each sentence one by one and find the error using the types of errors in the box:
spelling,
capitalization,
missing period,
spacing
---
1.
i don't like to eat broccoli.
→ The word “i” should be capitalized — it’s always “I” when talking about yourself.
✔ Error:
capitalization
2.
The son is out today, it's beautiful.
→ This sentence has two complete thoughts joined by a comma — that’s called a comma splice. But looking at our error types, none say “comma splice.” Wait — maybe we’re supposed to notice something else? Actually, let’s check again… Hmm. Maybe this is tricky. But wait — perhaps the issue is that “son” should be “sun”? Because “the sun is out today” makes sense with “it’s beautiful.” If it says “son,” that doesn’t fit. So likely a
spelling error — they meant “sun,” not “son.”
✔ Error:
spelling
3.
My name is daniel.
→ “daniel” is a name — names start with capital letters. Should be “Daniel.”
✔ Error:
capitalization
4.
This is the best day ever.
→ There are extra spaces between words. That’s a spacing problem.
✔ Error:
spacing
5.
Let's go for a ride in the truck
→ The sentence ends but there’s no period. It needs a dot at the end.
✔ Error:
missing period
6.
would you like to go to the movies?
→ The first word of a sentence should be capitalized. “would” → “Would”
✔ Error:
capitalization
7.
Wood you like to go to the movies?
→ “Wood” is wrong here — it should be “Would.” “Wood” is what trees are made of. “Would” is the helping verb for questions like this.
✔ Error:
spelling

Final Answer:
1. capitalization

4. spacing
5. missing period
6. capitalization
