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.

What is the rule about ending a sentence with a preposition?

shutvik [7]

Answer:

Ending a sentence with a preposition is believed by a lot of people to be incorrect.

Explanation:

Preposition is a word which is used to create a relationship between other words in a sentence. Ending a sentence with preposition according to John Dryden a dramatist in 1672 said that 'since one cannot end a sentence with preposition in Latin, one should not do it in English either."

Ending a sentence with preposition such as 'at, or, with, of, is prohibited in English language. Ending a sentence with a preposition especially in research paper or business proposal, sounds less formal. Therefore it is a rule not to end a sentence with preposition.
