Is Sammy correct? If not, construct a viable argument and critique his response.

Answer 1

Answer:

This one drives me insane, and it’s become extremely common among bloggers. All it takes to avoid this error is to take a second and think about what you’re trying to say.

“Your” is a possessive pronoun, as in “your car” or “your blog.” “You’re” is a contraction for “you are,” as in “you’re screwing up your writing by using your when you really mean you are.”

Answer 2

The statement that there were 8 little league players who are 3 years old, is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the line plot attached.

The line plot gives us that the ages of the little league players range between 5 to 10 years.

So, there are no players with the age of 3 years.

Therefore, the statement that there were 8 little league players who are 3 years old, is incorrect. (Answer)
