In this exercise you are helping your younger sister edit her paper for school. The teacher is looking for correct punctuation, grammar, and excellent word choice.

You have four tasks to clean up and modify strings.

1. Capitalize the title of the paper

Any good paper needs a properly formatted title. Implement the function capitalize_title() which takes in the parameter title and capitalizes the first letter of each word of the title. This function will return a str.

>>> capitalize_title("my hobbies")
"My Hobbies"

2. Check if each sentence ends with a period

You want to make sure that the punctuation in the paper is perfect. Implement the function check_sentence_ending() that takes in the parameter sentence. This function should return a bool.

>>> check_sentence_ending("I like to hike, bake, and read.")
True

3. Clean up spacing

To make the paper look professional, unnecessary spacing needs to be removed. Implement the function remove_extra_spaces() which takes in the parameter sentence and removes extra whitespace at the beginning and at the end of the sentence. This function should return a str.

>>> remove_extra_spaces(" I like to go on hikes with my dog.  ")
"I like to go on hikes with my dog."

4. Replace words with a synonym

To make the paper even better, you can replace some of the adjectives with synonyms. Write a function replace_word_choice() that takes in the parameters sentence, old_word, and new_word. This function should replace all instances of the old_word with the new_word and return the updated sentence. The function should return a str.

>>> replace_word_choice("I bake good cakes", "good", "amazing")
"I bake amazing cakes"
