question 10 of 15
which revision corrects a misspelling in this sentence?

the principle at their school just started her job this year.

a. no change is needed.

b. change principle to principal.

c. change started to startted.

d. change their to there

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The word "principle" is misspelled (should be "principal" for the school leader), so A is wrong.
• Option B: "Principle" (a rule/belief) is incorrect here; "principal" (school head) is the correct spelling. This fixes the misspelling.
• Option C: "started" is spelled correctly, and changing it to "startted" is incorrect.
• Option D: "their" (possessive) is correct in context (referring to the school's), while "there" (location) would be wrong.

Answer:

B. Change "principle" to "principal."
