Explanation:

1. For "I'm"

A contraction "I'm" is formed by combining the subject pronoun "I" and the present tense of the verb "to be" (am). So we expand it to "I am".

The contraction "she's" can be the combination of the subject pronoun "she" and the present tense of the verb "to be" (is) (or in some cases "has", but contextually for basic contraction expansion, "is" is common here). So we expand it to "she is".

The contraction "it's" is formed by combining the pronoun "it" and the present tense of the verb "to be" (is). So we expand it to "it is".

Answer:

I am

2. For "she's"
