Answer 1

"The Gobi Desert in Mongolia is rich with fossils of ancient life," explained Professor Harvey. "On our last expedition, we uncovered a nest of fossilized dinosaur eggs just east of here. It was a terrific find."

Answer 2

## Step 1Identify the words in the sentence that are incorrectly capitalized. In English, proper nouns (names of specific people, places, or things) and the first word of a sentence are capitalized. ## Step 2In the sentence, "The Gobi Desert in mongolia is rich with Fossils of ancient life " explained Professor harvey. "On our last expedition, we uncovered a nest of fossilized dinosaur eggs just East of here.It was a terrific find.", the words "mongolia", "Fossils", "Professor harvey", and "East" are incorrectly capitalized.## Step 3Correct the capitalization of these words. "mongolia" should be capitalized as "Mongolia" because it is a proper noun (name of a specific place). "Fossils" should not be capitalized as it is a common noun. "Professor harvey" should be capitalized as "Professor Harvey" because it is a proper noun (name of a specific person). "East" should not be capitalized as it is a common noun.
