Which of the following sentences correctly follows the rules of capitalization?

In the sentence, "The pumpkin crop was incredibly small this year because of excessive rain in the spring and he", the word "incredibly" is an adverb. Adverbs are words that modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. In this case, "incredibly" modifies the adjective "small," indicating the degree or intensity of the smallness of the pumpkin crop.

This sentence presents a specific statistic that may not be common knowledge and is not the author's original idea, so it requires a citation to give credit to the source of this information. A citation is needed to show where this statistic came from, who conducted the study, and when it was conducted. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

The sentence written correctly is: "The lizard has the ability to alter its coloration to blend in with the foliage." The word "alter" is spelled correctly, and the pronoun "its" is used correctly to show possession. The word "altar" in options B and D is a different word that means a raised platform used for religious or ceremonial purposes, and the word "it's" in option B is a contraction of "it is," which does not make sense in the context of the sentence.

"Ran" is the correct past tense of "run." The word "runned" is incorrect, "running" is the present participle, and "rant" is a different word.

The suffix "-ful" means "characterized by," so "graceful" means "characterized by grace."

Option A is correctly punctuated. It uses the possessive form "student's" to indicate that the friend belongs to the working student.

The possessive apostrophe is placed after "student" and before the "s" to indicate that the friend is singular and not plural.

These prefixes mean "not" or "opposite of." "Mis-" means "wrongly" (like in "misunderstand"), so it does not fit.

In the given sentence, "the class" is a singular noun and requires a singular possessive pronoun. "Its" is the correct form of the possessive pronoun "it" to use with a singular noun, as opposed to "it's," which is a contraction of "it is" and would not be appropriate in this context. "They're" is a contraction of "they are" and would not be appropriate because "class" is singular, not plural.

The final step of the writing process is editing, where the writer reviews and revises their work for clarity, coherence, and correctness.

The given sentences present a logical sequence of events, starting with the dog and owner being asleep in their home, followed bythe intruder breaking into the house, the dog biting the intruder who was attacking the owner, and finally, the statement about the dog being a man's best friend.

This order creates a clear and coherent story.
