Answer:

I believe the sentence that should be corrected to be indeed the last one: Its amazing how upset fans get over the game of baseball.

Explanation:

The missing apostrophe between "it" and the letter "s" makes the sentence grammatically incorrect. "Its", without the apostrophe, is a possessive pronoun/adjective. It should refer to or modify a noun, connecting it to another element in a relationship in which one owns the other. For instance:

My cat has tremendous abilities. Its amazing capacity to jump never fails to surprise me.

In the sentence above, there are two adjectives changing the noun "capacity". The capacity is amazing. The capacity belongs to the cat. Also, capacity functions as the subject of the sentence, along with the elements that modify it.

Now, in the sentence we are studying here, the pronoun "it" is the subject of the sentence. What is amazing? It is amazing. The letter "s" that comes after it is nothing but the contraction of the verb "is". Thus, it should be spelled as the following:

It's amazing how upset fans get over the game of baseball.

<h3>Following the sinking of a ship carrying 700 refugees off the coast of Lampedusa in mid-April, the world's focus has shifted to a crisis of even greater magnitude. Up to 8,000 migrants have been stranded in six boats in the Andaman Sea, off the coasts of Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia, since early May.
