Final answer:
The word 'Subway' in the sentence is incorrectly capitalized as it should not be unless it's part of a proper noun. Correct words to fill in the blanks for the given sentences include 'hear,' 'here,' 'effect,' 'meet,' and 'meat.' Commas should be reviewed for correct placement in sentences.
Step-by-step explanation:
The word “Subway” in the sentence “Where is the closest Subway station? I need to go downtown.” is incorrectly capitalized. Since the word “subway” is being used to refer to the general transportation system rather than the specific name of a restaurant franchise, it should not be capitalized unless it is part of a proper noun such as the name of a specific subway system, like “London Underground”.
