She had [red] that book last month. The hunter silently stalked his pray. [Their] house has a huge basement. Marcy swerved and stepped on the [brakes]. The camels moved like sailing ships across the burning [desert]. Stephano’s garden was a rainbow of [flowers]. The accused man was [tried] in the district court. Samantha gave the stranger a cold [stare].

Changed words are in [brackets].
Red is a color. Here you want the verb read meaning to look at words and figure out what they're saying.
There means a specific place. In this sentence, you need Their which is the possessive adjective form. You want to say that the house belongs to someone - in this case them - by using their.
Breaks means to take something that is whole and turn it to pieces. The word needed here is brakes which are the things on a wheel to make it stop.
Dessert is an after-meal treat, like cookies or cake. Desert is the word you need. A desert is a very dry and desolate place. One way to remember the difference is that dessert has 2 S's because you always want more dessert. No one wants more desert.
Flour is a basic ingredient in recipes made from grain. A flower is a beautiful, colorful plant.
When adding an ending to a word that ends in y, you drop the y and ad ied or ies.
A stair is a step. A series of stairs will take you up or down. The word you need is stare. It means to watch someone or something intently.
