Explanation:

1. In "What is (there, their, they're) concern?", "their" is a possessive pronoun indicating ownership of the concern.
2. In "Take off (your, you're) shoes", "your" is a possessive pronoun showing the shoes belong to the person being addressed.
3. In "(Your, You're) the best!", "You're" is a contraction of "you are", which makes sense in the context.
4. In "(There, Their, They're) so relaxed", "They're" is a contraction of "they are", appropriate for the sentence.
5. For "The judge and (him, he) left the courtroom", "he" is correct as it is part of the subject of the sentence.
6. For "Their cousin and (they, them) work out", "they" is part of the subject, so it is correct.
7. For "What must Yancy and (me, I) do?", "I" is part of the subject, so it is correct.
8. For "Marlo and (her, she) will arrive soon", "she" is part of the subject, so it is correct.
