Explanation:

Question 1 (Write the sentences correctly)

1. Original Sentence: College athletes can't be paid for competing but some people think they deserve it.

(Assuming a typo: "cant" → "can't")
Corrected: College athletes can't be paid for competing, but some people think they deserve it.

1. Original Sentence: When fans come to watch star players the college made a lotta money.

(Tense inconsistency: "come" (present) vs "made" (past); "lotta" → "a lot of")
Corrected: When fans come to watch star players, the college makes a lot of money. (or "came" and "made" for past tense: When fans came to watch star players, the college made a lot of money.)

Question 2 (Circle the function of the underlined part)

1. Sentence: There are also \underline{companies that feature famous players} in products like video games.

• A noun phrase functions as a noun (subject, object, etc.). The underlined part is a noun phrase (the main noun is "companies", modified by the relative clause "that feature famous players").
• A verb clause contains a subject and verb (not the case here).
• A prepositional phrase starts with a preposition (e.g., "in products").
• An adverb clause modifies a verb/adjective (not the case here).

Answer:

**: a. noun phrase

Question 3 (Use context clues for the bold word)

1. Sentence: Why shouldn’t these athletes \textbf{capitalize} on being famous and get paid?

Context: Athletes being famous and getting paid. "Capitalize on" means to take advantage of (use a situation/quality for benefit, e.g., making money from fame).

1. Original: There was a big consert the same night so many students had went there instead.

(Typos: "consert" → "concert"; "had went" → "had gone")
Corrected: There was a big concert the same night, so many students had gone there instead.

1. Sentence: The food caterer was stuck in traffic, so the food \underline{arrived late}.

• A verb phrase consists of a verb and its modifiers (here, "arrived" (verb) + "late" (adverb)).
• A noun phrase functions as a noun (not here).
• A prepositional phrase starts with a preposition (e.g., "in traffic").
