194. B: Since "governor" is not paired with a name, e.g. "Governor Jones," it should NOT be capitalized.
195. D: The verb should be the plural "were" to agree with its subject, "observations," not the singular "was."
196. D: The correct spelling is "lose," pronounced with a "z" sound and meaning to misplace, be deprived of, or fail to keep. The spelling "loose," pronounced with an "s" sound, is an adjective meaning not attached or not restrained; or a verb meaning to free, unleash, or detach.
197. D: Correct usage is the adjective "human" modifying the noun "mind." The possessive "human's mind" would only be used to indicate an individual human, e.g. "Through their direct comparison of the two subjects, the psychologists concluded that the human's mind was more complex than the dog's mind."
198. C: The correct word here is Capitol, with its initial letter capitalized and spelled with an o. "Capital" is a different word, meaning the official government seat of a state or country (e.g. the capital of New York is Albany); wealth, in money or property; preeminent, e.g. "Wisconsin is the cheese capital of America"; excellent, e.g. "He's a capital fellow"; or upper-case ("capital letters"). Capitol refers to the U.S. Congress building or similar buildings of state legislatures.
199. E: This sentence is correct as it is written.
200. D: The correct preposition is "into," because it shows a process or a change. One cannot separate eggs "in" groups; this would imply they were already in groups and were somehow being separated further within those groups-e.g., into smaller groups. One can only separate or divide things into groups.
