A. Underline the six misspelled words in the paragraphs below. Write the words correctly on the lines.

Once upon a time, a handsome prince was held captive in a high tower. Knights from many countrys used their powers and abilitys to try to free him, but none could. The tower was surrounded by prickly bushes and guarded by a fierce dragon. How could a prince be rescued from these surrounding?

A clever princess heard about the prince's difficultes and decided to rescue him. She didn't wear armor or carry a sword. She simply put on gloves and chopped through the bushes with hedge cutters. And the dragon? Well, she wasn't afraid of flying reptilies with fanges. She merely ordered the dragon to scram, and it did!
