  1. 1) You don't need to capitalize gubernatorial. It's effect, not affect. Don't abbreviate Governor in a quote. Good catch on bologna. (+2)
    2) 9-year-old girl (+2.5)
    3) Dr. or Ph.D., not both; the rest is good. (+3)
    4) Look up dateline format for Rome; don't capitalize world (+2)

    9.5/15
