Unfortunately you've made a lot of mistakes and omissions here. 8 is correct, 4 is largely correct (though "one and a quarter" should really be rendered "one-and-a-quarter"); 9 is lacking capitalisation of proper nouns; the other seven are so wrong that correcting them would essentially be us doing the exercise for you. Better to hand it in and see what your tutor says to explain where you've gone wrong.

I hope I didn't come across as too harsh in my first response, I just didn't know if it'd be helpful to give all the answers when this person clearly needs some more help with whatever class this is for (if indeed this is for a class, I may have misunderstood), potentially giving the tutor the impression the OP has mastered their lesson.
