Answer 4

Well guessing isn't really good either

Answer 5

A is wrong because plays should be in italics.

Book titles should be in Italics too.

@Vianne It shouldn't be guessing or they would go a guessing spree

So cross B out.

Answer 9

thank you and I understand why C is correct I that was my personal guess anyways

Answer 10

Paintings should be in italics too... By any chance is "The Cat in the Hat" italicize?

Answer 11

I'm not too sure on how to explain it? You should always pause (insert a comma) when you're going to give an extra detail on something like

Ex. Johannes Vermeer, (this would be the detail) a seventeenth-century Dutch artist (you add another comma since you're done giving the detail), painted the portrait "Girl with a Pearl Earring."

@Vianne @BlossomCake

Answer 13

Good, good. You should also say that portraits/paintings are "quoted."
