Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

At the start of the paragraph, it says "Who set Il world record's"- the underlined part got me confused, I think that may be an error of some kind but I'm not sure what it means and how to correct it.

Anyway, here are the other eight errors that I found.

1. "...world records"

2. "...in track and field?"

3. "...while Jesse was in college"

4. "...broke five world records and tied another."

5. "...in just 45 minutes!"

6. "at the Olympic Games in Berlin,

7. "...Germany."

8. "Jesse was awarded the Medal of Freedom..."
