Explanation:

The problem is about adding punctuation to set off parenthetical information. Let's solve each part:

1. For "Elizabeth Blackwell 1821 - 1910 grew up...", the parenthetical is "1821 - 1910", so we use parentheses: Elizabeth Blackwell (1821 - 1910) grew up in a time when women were not welcome in many professions.

1. For "She thought women would want to see a female doctor rather than a male about their health concerns.", the parenthetical (implied or maybe a typo, but the instruction is commas. Wait, maybe the parenthetical is "rather than a male"? No, the instruction says commas. Wait, maybe the sentence has a parenthetical in the middle. Wait, the original sentence: "She thought women would want to see a female doctor rather than a male about their health concerns." If we need to set off "rather than a male" with commas: She thought women would want to see a female doctor, rather than a male, about their health concerns.

1. For "Blackwell was accepted into Geneva Medical School after being rejected by twenty other medical schools.", the instruction is dash. So we use a dash to set off the parenthetical (maybe "after being rejected by twenty other medical schools" is parenthetical? Wait, no, maybe the other way. Wait, the sentence: Blackwell was accepted into Geneva Medical School—after being rejected by twenty other medical schools.

1. For "Blackwell a determined person became the first woman to graduate from medical school in the United States.", the parenthetical is "a determined person", so we use commas: Blackwell, a determined person, became the first woman to graduate from medical school in the United States.

1. For "She later established a medical school just for women.", the instruction is dash. Maybe there's a parenthetical missing? Wait, maybe the original has a parenthetical. Assuming we need to set off something with a dash, maybe: She later established a medical school—just for women.
