The police were satisfied that they solved the case.​

Answer 1

Spelling Errors: identifyed, supplyed, admiting, deceided, ocurred, geting.

Sentence: The police quickly located the car and suspects.

Explanation:

For the spelling errors, identifyed is actually spelt identified; known as "change the y into an I and add an -es." After you do the change, you just make it past tense. With supplyed, it is the same format as identified; known as "change the y into an I and add an -es." Admiting is missing a t after the t, making it Admitting. The I in deceided should be switched with the e before, creating decided. Ocurred is missing an extra c, so it makes Occurred. The last thing is geting which is missing a t before the e, creating the word getting. For the sentence "the police quickly locatedr the car and the suspects"- which is in the paragraph- you can see it is missing a period which makes the sentence grammatically incorrect. The solution is to add a period after the words "suspects."
