To answer each of the questions:

2. David needed his school folder from his backpack, but he couldn't find IT. The best answer is option a. "it." as it refers back to the school folder.
3. Each of my daughters had to get THEIR own lunch before leaving school. The best answer is option a. "their" as it is the correct possessive pronoun to refer to multiple daughters.

5. Every girl wore jeans to the party except Jasmine and I. The correct sentence to replace the given one without changing the meaning is option b. "Every girl wore jeans to the party except Jasmine and me." This sentence maintains the correct use of the pronoun "me" instead of "I" as it functions as the object of the verb "except."
6. William won't go for the job interview because he says that they only hire people with four-year degrees. The best answer is option b. "William won't go for the job interview because he says that the job only hires people with four-year degrees."
