AP Style Exercise #4 (M-R)

1. He hopes to make $1 billion by the time he's 40. Already he figures his net worth is between $2 million and $3 million, depending on the current stock prices.

2. Lt. Col. John Carpenter was a Cadet at the U.S. Naval Academy and served in the 7th Fleet.

3. Twenty-one winners were named two days after the 3rd annual Procrastination Award ceremony.

4. It was a one-sided game, and he was a poor loser. After losing the playoff when his ball went out of bounds, he made an off-color remark that could be heard in the stands.

5. Hundreds of people attended Sunday's race to watch 75 top bicyclists pedal across the finish line.

6. Every winter, the Joneses and the Kinneys pore over travel brochures, planning their summer trip together. This year they're hoping to go to Panama City, Fla.

2) This one's tricky. The Navy doesn't have cadets or the rank of "Lt. Col." It's Lt. Cmdr. and midshipman. (-2)
3) Third annual, not 3rd (-1)

You got the rest! 17/20
