AP Style Exercise A-D

  1. Mayor Richard Wrigley expressed confidence that the gubernatorial debate, which begins at 7:30 p.m. this evening, will have a positive effect on his candidacy. He added, “Gov. Red Davidson is a master of dirty politics, but I won’t take any of his bologna.”
  2. For her birthday, the 9-year-old girl invited five good friends over for cake and ice cream. The chocolate cake was so tasty that any one of the children could have eaten it all, but they carefully divided it between themselves.
  3. The new head of the Journalism Department, Dr. Deborah Dunwoody, Ph.D., recently bought a house at 6 Riverside Dr. in San Mateo, a city in the San Francisco Bay Area.
  4. ROME, Italy – All around the world, Roman Catholics listened as the pope delivered his homily.
