During last week's science fair, the judges said the loud music had a negative affect on some displays, because it shook small models off there stands. Our class tried to fix the problem, but it's efforts were too late for two teams. The principal promised to review the rules, to make sure they're followed and that the event is safe, but some students were too upset to celebrate. I think the effect of noise should be tested before next year.

Which revision corrects all errors?

At the community garden, there planning a harvest day where neighbors bring dishes to share. The flyer said the weather may effect the schedule, so check back often. Our club wants to donate two baskets of herbs, but it's hard to decide what to pick. I'm excited to meet new people, and I hope their recipes aren't too spicy for younger kids. If the event has to move indoors, we'll help to set up tables and keep things organized.

Members from art class will suggest icons and colors.
