Explanation:

1. The original sentence has an incorrect use of "And" capitalized as a conjunction between two clauses. It should be "and". The correct phrase is "Laundromat and its" to maintain proper grammar and flow.
2. The original is a run - on sentence. Using "students who" creates a relative clause that correctly modifies "international exchange students", making the sentence more coherent.
3. The semicolon is unnecessary. The prepositional phrase "from a drugstore" should be directly connected to "across the street" without a semicolon. So "street, from" is the correct choice for proper punctuation.
4. The relative clause "which needed to be solved" is redundant. Just stating "problem" is more concise and clear.

Answer:

1. d. Laundromat and its
2. c. students who
3. c. street, from
4. d. problem.
