Final answer:

The corrected capitalization of the sentence is 'She asked, "Do you like German food?"' Additionally, five review sentences were corrected for proper comma usage, helping clarify their structure.

Step-by-step explanation:

To correctly capitalize the provided sentence, you should follow the English capitalization rules, which include capitalizing the first word of a sentence, the pronoun 'I', and proper nouns, as well as the first word in a direct quote if it begins a complete sentence. Therefore, the corrected sentence is: "She asked, 'Do you like German food?'" With German being a proper noun and 'Do' being the start of a new quoted complete sentence, both require capitalization.

  3. Taking the elevator to the roof, we hoped we could see the skyline and the bay.
  4. Though Susan wasn't feeling well, she went to the store anyway and bought ice cream, pizza, and candy.
  5. I let my neighbor borrow my phone because she said hers was tapped by the police.

These corrections were made to ensure each sentence adheres to the rules for correct comma usage, which improves clarity and readability.
