To choose the correct answers, we need to analyze each sentence and determine which option provides the grammatically correct and coherent response. Here's a breakdown of each sentence and the reasoning behind the correct answers:
1. The correct answer is option C: "Jordan was studying for his criminal justice exam, and his brother offered to help him study. Therefore, Jordan's brother went over each of the questions with him." This option correctly links the actions of Jordan studying for the exam and his brother offering to help him, leading to his brother going over each of the questions with Jordan.
2. The correct answer is option C: "For example, he or she may have gone to their friend's birthday party on a school night knowing that they would have to get up the next morning for a test." This option provides a gender-neutral alternative (he or she) and uses the correct tense, "would have to" instead of "have to."
3. The correct answer is option D: "In conclusion, a person who has spent his or her money to attend college should not be failing college after spending money to go there in the first place."
