Your answers are partially correct. Here are the correct answers for each question:

1. The correct answer is A. "who". The phrase "who is wearing the red jerseys" is a relative clause modifying the noun "team", and "who" is the correct pronoun to refer to people.

To find the answer, you can identify that the sentence is looking for a pronoun to refer to the team. You can recognize that the team is composed of people, so a pronoun that refers to people is needed. By understanding this grammar rule, you can determine the correct answer.

2. The correct answer is D. "Punctuation of an introductory clause". The sentence is missing a comma after the introductory clause "The gist of the saying".

To find the answer, you can identify the specific language convention being violated in the sentence. In this case, the issue is the lack of a comma after the introductory clause. By understanding this punctuation rule, you can determine the correct answer.

3. The correct answer is B. "were". Since "the quarterback, along with his teammates" is a plural subject, the corresponding verb should also be plural.

To find the answer, you can analyze the subject "the quarterback, along with his teammates". This subject is plural because it refers to more than one person. Therefore, the verb that follows should also be plural. By understanding subject-verb agreement, you can determine the correct answer.
