Answer 1

Harris Bros (?) offers the widest selection of home appliances, in my opinion *** a period ( . ) right after the "s" of "Bros."***
Jim Norton asked whether he should plan to attend the conference (?) *** Period. ***
What a surprise it was for Mel (?) *** Exclamation mark ***
Work has fallen behind schedule (?) consequently, we cannot move until June *** either a semicolon or period. (You'd need a capital "C" for "Consequently) and there's a period missing after "June."
