Quote:3. Yesterday he___late to school. came?
Yes, but the word order is wrong. "Came" and "to school" should not be separated.
Quote:4. I have__my pencil. broke or broken?
Broken (the past participle).
Quote:5. The flag was ____ at dawn. Raised?
Yes
Quote:1. The____ job was endangerd because he flogged a child.
teacher's ------- should the word be teacher' or teachers?
teacher's. One person possessive.
Quote:2. You must give two weeks noticed when you resign from a job.
Is the word weeks correct or should I use week's or weeks'?
two-weeks notice, or two-week notice. By the letter of teh law the adjective should not be plural so when it's "two-weeks" it's really saying "two weeks of notice" and not a "two-week notice".
Quote:3. We thought those books were the Smith's.
