2. In the same document, refer to your AP style guide to rewrite the following sentence, correcting three errors in it:

The given statement can be written as below after correcting the three errors in it:

Given statement: The N.A.S.A. spacecraft is approaching Jupiter, which has a diameter more than eleven times greater than that of earth.

Corrected statement: The NASA spacecraft is approaching Jupiter, which has a diameter more than 11 times greater than that of Earth.

Corrections made:

  • The name abbreviation of the name of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is formally written and NASA and not N.A.S.A.
  • The correct way of mentioning a number in a sentence is by putting it in digits (11 not eleven).
  • Earth is a noun. Hence the first letter of the word should be capitalized.
