Sentence 1: "All of the turtles like to eat strawberries."

• Nouns: Underline "turtles" and "strawberries" (these are people, places, things, or ideas; turtles are a type of animal, strawberries are a type of fruit).
• Verb: Circle "like" (it shows the action the turtles do).

Sentence 2: "The girl shimmied down the pole to escape the fire."

• Nouns: Underline "girl", "pole", and "fire" (girl is a person, pole and fire are things).
• Verb: Circle "shimmied" (it's the action the girl performs) and "escape" (it's the action related to avoiding the fire, though "shimmied" is the main action verb here).

Sentence 3: "This year the farmer had a good crop."

• Nouns: Underline "year", "farmer", and "crop" (year is a time (can be a noun), farmer is a person, crop is a thing).

For the capitalization multiple - choice questions:

Question 1:

• Brief Explanations: Proper nouns (names of people, places) should be capitalized. "Carl" is a person's name (proper noun, capitalized), "Jacksonville" is a city (proper noun, capitalized), and "Florida" is a state (proper noun, capitalized). In option A, "jacksonville" is not capitalized. In option B, "carl" and "florida" are not capitalized correctly. In option C, all proper nouns are capitalized.
• Answer: C. Carl went to Jacksonville, Florida for vacation.

Question 2:

• Brief Explanations: The first word of a sentence should be capitalized ("We" in this case, not "we").

In option C, "Veterans day" has "day" not capitalized (it's part of the proper noun "Veterans Day"). Option B has the correct capitalization: "We" (starts the sentence), "Veterans Day" (holiday name), and "November" (month).
