3:I enjoy jogging every day because in this way I get regular exercise. correct
Are these correct?
Yes, both are correct.
Are they all correct or just two of them? I have three questions. And thank you!
I see only two questions.
1) example of metaphor
and
2) pronoun/antecedent question
Both are correct.
That is weird!! Thank you!

You’re welcome.
Yes, the correct answer to the first question is C: Metaphor.
As for the second set of questions:
1. We gave Fido to Ken when he was very young. - This sentence is incorrect because the pronoun "he" does not have a clear antecedent. To make it correct, you could rephrase it as "We gave Fido to Ken when Ken was very young."
2. Aunt Edith is a painter, but neither of her daughters likes it. - This sentence is correct. The pronoun "it" refers back to the activity of painting, which Aunt Edith enjoys.
3. I enjoy jogging every day because in this way I get regular exercise. - This sentence is correct. The pronoun "this" refers back to the act of jogging, which allows the speaker to get regular exercise.
