Explanation:

Question 1

When writing a city and state, we use a comma between the city and the state. So "Salem Oregon" should be "Salem, Oregon".

For a date with a day of the week, month, and day, we use commas appropriately. Also, the day of the month should have a suffix (if needed, here 5th is "5" or "5th", but in standard date formatting with a day of the week, it's "Wednesday, November 5" (or "Wednesday, November 5th", but the number alone is also acceptable with the comma after the day of the week).

For a date (month, day, year) and a city, state, we use commas. So "September 11 2001" becomes "September 11, 2001" and "New York City New York" becomes "New York City, New York".

Answer:

Salem, Oregon
