I'm not sure about #1, but the other three are correct.
1. is also correct.
k, thanks
1. The hall of Fame's members include many people who you probably don't know. (Correctly underlined: Fame's)
To determine the correct answer, we need to identify the possessive form of "Fame." In this sentence, we are referring to the members of the hall, which means we need to use the possessive form to indicate ownership. Therefore, "Fame's" is the correct word to underline.
2. All of the girls will pay for themselves at the dance. (Correctly underlined: themselves)
In this sentence, we are referring to multiple girls, and they are each responsible for paying for themselves. Therefore, the correct word to underline is "themselves."
3. The story that Nina told about her ancestor was the most fascinating. (Correctly underlined: most)
To identify the correct word, we need to determine the degree of fascination between "more" and "most." Since we are comparing the story Nina told with other stories, we need to use the superlative form, which is "most." Therefore, "most" is the correct word to underline.
4. Joe's jet ski went through the waves more rapidly than the other skiers. (Correctly underlined: more rapidly)
To select the correct word, we need to compare the speed at which Joe's jet ski moved through the waves with the speed of the other skiers. Since we are comparing how quickly they moved, we need to use the adverb form of "rapid." Therefore, "more rapidly" is the correct word to underline.
It seems like you have underlined the correct words in each sentence. Well done!
