Explanation:

1. The pronoun "it" is incorrect as "cuts" is plural. It should be "they".
2. In "unmerciful", "un -" is the prefix, "merciful" is the base/root word, and there is no suffix added to the root "merciful" here.
3. To rewrite with a possessive noun, we change "the sculptures of the artists" to "the artists' sculptures".
4. "Miranda and Caleb knead and roll out the pizza dough" has one independent clause and no dependent clauses, so it is a simple sentence.
5. In "I had a remote chance", "remote" means slight or faint.

Answer:

1. Circle "it". Rewrite: I applied ointment to my cuts so they would heal.
2. Prefix: un -; Base or root: merciful; Suffix: None
3. the artists' sculptures
4. simple
5. 2. adj. Slight or faint
