Explanation:

Question 1: Choose the correct relative pronoun

We need a relative pronoun to show possession (the woman’s husband). "Whose" is used for possession, while "who" (subject), "that" (general relative), and "whom" (object) don’t show possession here.

Proper nouns (holidays, days, months, years) need capitalization. "Labor Day" is a holiday, "Monday" is a day, "September" is a month, and years are capitalized as part of dates. Also, add punctuation (comma after day, period at end).

The original text ("I got home from school and then I was supposed to do my homework but my mom got angry because I didn’t do it") has multiple independent clauses ("I got home...", "then I was supposed...", "but my mom got angry...") connected without proper punctuation (like semicolons or periods), making it a run - on. To correct, split into sentences or add proper punctuation.

Answer:

d. whose
