Thank you so much for the help!!

The first two are right.

3. . . . during the nine-year period, 1900-1908.

1. The Olympic athlete also overcame polio. (Ray Ewry)

Your answer: Ray Ewry, the Olympic athlete, also overcame polio.
Explanation: Your answer is correct. You have added an appositive phrase "Ray Ewry" to provide additional information about the Olympic athlete.

2. Ewry competed in the standing high jump, the standing long jump, and the standing triple jump. (events not part of today’s Olympic Games)
Your answer: Ewry competed in the standing high jump, the standing long jump, and the standing triple jump, events not part of today’s Olympic Games.
Explanation: Your answer is correct. You have added an appositive phrase ", events not part of today’s Olympic Games" to further describe the mentioned jumps.

3. He had an advantage over today’s athletes: when he competed, four Olympics were held during the nine-year period. (1900-1908)
Your answer: He had an advantage over today’s athletes: when he competed, four Olympics were held during the 1900-1908, nine-year period.
Explanation: Your answer is almost correct. However, the appositive phrase "1900-1908" should modify "four Olympics" rather than "nine-year period." Therefore, the correct answer would be: He had an advantage over today’s athletes: when he competed, four Olympics were held during the nine-year period from 1900-1908.

Overall, great job on the revisions!
