AP Exercise #1

1. The new head of journalism department, Dr. Deborah Dunwoody, recently bought a house at 6 Riverside Dr. in San Mateo, a lovely city in the San Francisco Bay Area.

2. "What kind of person would break in to my apartment and steal my brand-new thongs?" she cried.

3. The instructor asked her students to read Chapter 6 in the text, and to pay close attention to the section on the Great Depression, which began in the late 1920s and continued through the 30's.

4. Sarah Smith does not let partial blindness or wheelchair confinement stop her from living life to the fullest. Despite her handicaps, she volunteers at a local senior center and enjoys going for strolls (she calls them "rolls") with her firends. - I'm sorry I couldn't figure out how to edit this. The only thing I could think of was that perhaps more sensitivity should be used when addressing her disabilities.

Yes, for #4, look at "disabilities" in the AP Stylebook for guidance.
