ProofreadingThere are six spelling errors in the paragraph below. Circle each misspelledword. Write the correctly spelled word on the lines below.
Thruout history, people have built roads and bridges to help them get from
one place to another. Unfortunately, the straitest path between two places
was often blocked by rivers and mountains. Engineers worked long hours to
develop a strategie to overcome such obstacles. Not only did they have to
design tunnels and bridges, but they also had to work out a schedual to get
them built on time. The strane on the workers who built the railroads was
also great. Often laborers who blasted tunnels in the side of mountains had
to scrambel for safety to avoid being blown up themselves!
