Things to keep in mind when completing your DOL quiz:
Spelling:
Remember to look for words with the suffix -ance. Example: allowence
would be allowance.

Capitalize proper nouns of people and animals, days and holidays, proper
adjectives, titles of works, and the first word in quotations.
Punctuation:
Use periods with abbreviated titles. Use commas in direct addresses,
with coordinating conjunctions, and with appositives. Use apostrophes
with possessives, and underline titles. Colons should be placed between
hours and minutes in time.
Sentences:
Remember to separate run-on sentences and to turn sentence
fragments into complete sentences. Also, there should be agreement
of subject and verb.
