Explanation:

1. In the first set, "The pack of dogs is terrorizing Jacob, and being mean to him" is correct as the subject "the pack" is singular and takes a singular verb "is". In "The group of girls are big bullies", "group" is singular so the verb should be "is". In "One of the television shows was not good, and I won't watch them", the pronoun "them" should refer to "the show" (singular), it should be "it". In "The collection of books are big", "collection" is singular and the verb should be "is".
2. In the second set, "They're taking fewer classes than I did last year" is correct. "Fewer" is used with countable nouns like "classes", while "less" is for un - countable nouns. "Calories" and "kids" are countable, so "less" is incorrect in "There are less calories in carrots than chocolate" and "There are less kids at the local library than the pool". "They're fewer pages in the reading assignment" is a wrong construction, it should be "There are fewer pages".
3. In the third set, "I am ready for summer, it has a positive effect on me" is a run - on sentence. "Rorie goes; I don't know what affected him" is correct as the semicolon is used to separate two independent clauses. "I ran to town; and I bought a bathing suit" is incorrect as the "and" after the semicolon is not needed. "My mom's words were helpful; they effected me" uses "effected" wrongly, it should be "affected".

Answer:

1. C. The pack of dogs is terrorizing Jacob, and being mean to him.
2. C. They're taking fewer classes than I did last year.
3. B. Rorie goes; I don't know what affected him.
