"Could" is "can" past tense and denotes the ability to be able to do something.
1. Why did Marvin kiss his elbow?
Use the word "urge" when you answer this question.
-> Casey Happleton urged him to kiss his elbow.
She said, "If a boy kisses his elbow, he’ll turn into a girl.
After "he said |replied | answered ｜ stated | ... etc.," we place a comma after it.
2. State two reasons why Marvin didn't want to try kissing his elbow at first.
-> First of all, he didn’t believe he’d really turn into a girl.
Second of all, he didn’t know ifwhether his mouth could even reach his elbow.
You used "could" perfectly here.
3. Why did Marvin hesitate to tell Casey that he tried kissing his elbow?
-> If he told Casey that he kissed his elbow, and he didn’t turn into a girl, that would prove that he was weird for kissing his elbow and believed what Casey said.
Then Casey would tease him.

Not until he kissed his elbow again.
This is a sentence fragment so I deleted it and added it to the previous line.

- Mom mistook his voice as Linzy’s.
- When he was afraid, he sang athe song “Mary hHad a lamb..” , but it was girls’ poemLittle Lamb,” which is a song for girls.
I don't think the song is for girls. Lots of little kids sing it in the US.

I think Marvin has strange ideas. Anyone can be afraid of turtles.
