1. **Personification**

a) Insert a word that gives the table a human‐like sound while it’s being moved. One suitable word is “creaked.”  
  • Final sentence:  
   $$ 	ext{The table creaked as it was moved.} $$

b) Complete the sentence by adding a word that makes the thunder act like a living being. A good choice is “growled.”  
  • Final sentence:  
   $$ 	ext{The thunder growled.} $$

c) Add a vivid verb to describe the wildfire’s movement. For example, “raced” creates a sense of urgency and life.  
  • Final sentence:  
   $$ 	ext{The wildfire raced like a large freight train.} $$

d) Choose a word that gives the moon an expressive, human quality. “Smiled” works well here.  
  • Final sentence:  
   $$ 	ext{The moon smiled in the star-filled night sky.} $$

2. **Punctuation**

a) Capitalize the first word and add commas to separate the items in the list. If we assume the sentence is completed by “store,” the punctuated sentence becomes:  
  • Final sentence:  
   $$ 	ext{I decided to buy milk, cheese, and bread at the store.} $$

b) Capitalize the sentence’s beginning, properly format the car name, and insert commas where needed:  
  • Final sentence:  
   $$ 	ext{When my VW Golf broke down, my dad had to shop for spare parts to have it repaired.} $$

c) Capitalize proper nouns and insert commas to set off the comparative phrase:  
  • Final sentence:  
   $$ 	ext{Johannesburg, like Cape Town, is a big city in South Africa.} $$
