    • Their, their

    Correct Answer
    A. Their, their
    Explanation
    The word "their" is used to show possession, indicating that the dog belongs to someone. In this case, it implies that the dog belongs to a group of people. The word "their" is used twice in the sentence to maintain consistency and clarity. The first "their" indicates that the dog runs towards the house that belongs to the group of people. The second "their" shows that the house also belongs to the same group of people.

    • Friend and I

    • Me and my friend

    • Correct as is

    Correct Answer
    A. Friend and I
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "friend and I" because when referring to oneself and others as the subject of a sentence, "I" should be used instead of "me". In this case, since the speaker is mentioning themselves and their friend as the subject of the sentence, "friend and I" is the appropriate choice.

    • I, So

    Correct Answer
    A. Correct as is
    Explanation
    The given answer "Correct as is" is the correct answer because the original sentence is grammatically correct and follows proper punctuation rules. The capitalization of "I" is correct, and the comma is appropriately placed before the quotation marks. The conjunction "so" is also correctly used to connect the two clauses in the sentence. Therefore, no changes are needed in the sentence.

    • Men's Basketball

    Correct Answer
    A. Men's basketball
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "men's basketball" because it correctly identifies the specific type of basketball that was stolen from the gymnasium. The possessive form "men's" indicates that the basketball belongs to or is associated with the men's team or division. This helps to distinguish it from other types of basketballs that may be present in the gymnasium, such as women's basketball or youth basketball.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "summer, beach" because it is grammatically correct and maintains consistency in capitalization. The words "summer" and "beach" are both nouns and are correctly capitalized as they are the first words in the sentence. Additionally, the comma is correctly placed between the two words to separate them.
