Explanation:

Question 1: Adjective Comparison

The sentence compares Rajiv to Aaron: "In the cricket team, Rajiv is a ________ batsman than Aaron."
Since two people are being compared, the comparative form of the adjective "skilful" is required. The comparative form is "more skilful".

Question 2: Pronoun Selection

The sentence is: "The whole family ate ________ dinner at the table."
The possessive pronoun for "the whole family" (plural/collective) is "their".

Question 3: Sentence Splitting

The text is: "Our local skatepark has ramps for beginners and experienced skaters it also has street skating equipment and concrete bowls"
A full stop and capital letter should separate the two independent clauses: "Our local skatepark has ramps for beginners and experienced skaters." and "It also has street skating equipment and concrete bowls."
Thus, the correct option is "skaters. It".

Question 4: Contraction vs. Possessive Pronoun

The sentence is: "________ going to the party tomorrow? asked Jonah."
The sentence requires the contraction of "who is", which is "Who's".

Question 5: Subject Pronoun Case

The sentence is: "We are watching a movie."
When replacing "We" (subject pronoun) with compound subjects, the subjective case "I" must be used, and standard English etiquette places the other person first: "Hone and I".

Question 6: Formal Word Choice

The sentence is: "'Chur for helping me out!'"
"Chur" is an informal slang term for "thank you". The correct formal replacement is "Thank you".

Question 7: Punctuation Rules

The sentence requires proper capitalization and punctuation.

• "I" must be capitalized.
• A comma is needed before the contrasting element "not destructive".
• A period (full stop) is required at the end.

The correct option is: "I prefer video games, that are creative, not destructive." (Option C matches standard punctuation structure in the choices). Let's look closely at the options:
(A) "I prefer video games that are creative not destructive" (no punctuation)
(B) "i prefer video games that are creative not destructive." (lowercase 'i')
(C) "I prefer video games that are creative, not destructive." (correct capitalization, comma before contrasting phrase, and ending period)
(D) "I prefer video games, that are creative not destructive" (no ending period)
Thus, (C) is correct.

Question 8: Adjective vs. Adverb (good vs. well)

• "My handwriting isn't very ________" -> "handwriting" is a noun, so we need the adjective "good" to describe it.
• "but I draw ________." -> "draw" is an action verb, so we need the adverb "well" to describe how the action is performed.
