Explanation:

1. Add quotation marks around the direct - speech and capitalize the first word and the proper name.
2. Replace "them" with "those" for proper grammar and "there" with "their" to show possession.
3. Commas are used correctly to separate the day from the year in a date.
4. Commas are used incorrectly. In an address, the state and the ZIP code should not be separated by a comma.
5. "selection" is a noun, a naming word.

For the analogy, a leaf is a type of spinach, and a root is a type of carrot.
For sentence correction:

• In "jeff sits his glasses on the tabel", correct the proper name "jeff" to "Jeff", change "sits" to "sets" (since it's about placing the glasses), and "tabel" to "table".
• In "I need to right a thank you note for the gift my aunt sent me", change "right" to "write".

For the vocabulary question, "distraction" means something that draws one's attention away.
The statement "It is important to protect forests and wildlife at any cost" is an opinion as it expresses a value - judgment.
