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.

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Readily - ADV(Adverb).

Camp, swimming - ADJ(Adjectives)

Her - PN(Pronoun)

Explanation:

Adverbs are elucidated as the words that function to modify an action word i.e. verb, other adverbs, various types of words or clauses, adjectives, etc. In the given sentence, 'readily' is the adverb as it qualifies the verb 'gave' and adds a description about it.

Adjectives are characterized as describing words or the words that function to modify or qualify a noun or pronoun in the sentence by adding more details about its size, quality, shape, emotions, etc. In the given sentence, the word 'camp' is modifying the noun 'counselor' while 'swimming' describes the type of 'lessons.'

Pronouns are defined as the words that replace either a noun or a noun phrase in the sentence and assist in preventing the repetition of a noun that makes the content more readable and comprehensive. In the given sentence, 'her' is functioning as the pronoun as it substitutes the noun phrase 'the camp counselor.'
