Let's do this.
10.
• A is wrong because Macedonia is a country. Countries are capitalized.
• B is wrong because it's not a SPECIFIC valley, so no need to capitalize it.
• C is correct.
• D is wrong because the first word in a quotation generally needs to be capitalized (unless it's an embedded quote, which you can look up online).
12. This is a frustrating question. There is absolutely no set rule for how long a paragraph should be. But since you got A wrong, I think that D might be your best answer. Again, I'm guessing here because there is no set rule on this.
17. Unfortunately I can't answer this one with total confidence since you didn't italicize anything when you typed in the answer choices. But I know this much:
• A might need to have "avant-garde" italicized, since it's a foreign phrase. However, sometimes foreign words and phrases become common enough in English that we no longer need to italicize them (like "cappuccino" for example). Many people consider avant-garde to be one of these phrases.
• Nothing in B needs to be italicized.
• C is obviously wrong.
• In D, South Pacific needs to be italicized. It's the title of a play, and titles of books and plays are always italicized.
