Explanation:

First, identify the 5 errors in the text using the provided key:

1. "two late" uses the wrong word; it should be "too late".
2. "onestly" is a spelling error; it should be "honestly".
3. "deep breath stared" is missing punctuation; it should be "deep breath, stared".
4. "their was" uses the wrong word; it should be "there was".
5. "Action Nine News" has a capitalization error; it should be "Action Nine News" (the location "Fairview" should be capitalized, which was lowercase in the text: "Fairview" was written as lowercase after the news name, it should be capitalized as a proper noun).

For the questions:

1. The cafeteria went into a frenzy because the news announced Inferno Snacks are unsafe and being recalled, which the sixth grade was eating.
2. Jamie will likely win the election, as her opposition to Inferno Snacks is now vindicated by the recall, changing others' opinions of her.
