Answer 1

There is an error of style in the sentence "Although her mother was in it, thieves stole a suitcase containing money and jewellery from the car of Mrs Hester Williams yesterday." The sentence should read "Although her mother was in it, thieves stole a suitcase containing money and jewelry from Mrs. Hester Williams' car yesterday." The error is that the word "jewellery" should be spelled as "jewelry".
