JOU 61: AP Style A-D Exercise

  1. Mayor Richard Wrigley expressed confidence that the gubernatorial debate, which begins at 7:30 p.m., will have a positive effect on his candidacy. Wrigley added, “Gov. Red Davidson is a master of dirty politics, but I won’t take any of his baloney.”
  2. For her birthday, the 9-year-old girl invited five good friends over for ice cream and cake. The chocolate cake was so tasty that any one of the children could have eaten it all, but they carefully divided it among themselves.
  3. Persuaded of the bill’s importance, members of the Democratic and Republican Parties came together on Capitol Hill to support anti-terrorism legislation -- despite their differences on other issues.
  4. ROME – All around the world, Roman Catholics today listened as the pope delivered his homily.
