Question

check the box next to the sentence with no spelling errors. circle the two errors in the other sentences.
theres got to be evidance pointing to a suspect!
the police are searching carefully for clues.
suspitions have been high since the crime were reported.
underline the subject of the sentence. fill in the blank with the correct reflexive pronoun.
zev and paola bought ______________ a science kit so they could pretend to be police investigators.

Explanation:

• For the first part:
• In "Theres got to be evidence pointing to a suspect!", "Theres" is incorrect (should be "There's" - contraction of "There is") and "evidance" is misspelled (correct is "evidence").
• In "Suspitions have been high since the crime were reported.", "Suspitions" is misspelled (correct is "Suspicions" - but wait, no, actually the error is "were" - since the subject "crime" is singular, it should be "was").
• "The police are searching carefully for clues." has no spelling errors.
• For the second part: The subject is "Zev and Paola". The correct reflexive pronoun for two people is "themselves".

Answer:

• First part: Check the box next to "The police are searching carefully for clues."
• In "Theres got to be evidence pointing to a suspect!", circle "Theres" and "evidance".
• In "Suspitions have been high since the crime were reported.", circle "Suspitions" (if we consider the mis - spelling, but actually the main error is "were" - should circle "were" and maybe "Suspitions" if it's a typo in the problem's context, but assuming the intended error is "were" as the verb agreement error)
• Second part: Zev and Paola (subject) bought themselves a science kit so they could pretend to be police investigators.
