Explanation:

1. For question 18: Compound numbers between 21 and 99 require a hyphen when written in words. "twenty-four" is a compound number that needs this hyphen, while the other options are regular noun phrases that do not require hyphenation.
2. For question 19: Sentence 7 uses correct punctuation: the comma after "year" sets off an introductory phrase, "pre-Thanksgiving" correctly uses a hyphen for the prefix, and the comma after "Park" is part of a parallel list of volunteer actions, so no changes are needed.
3. For question 20: The speaker is the president-elect, referring to their own upcoming role, so "our" should be changed to "my" to match the first-person singular context of the speaker's position.

Answer:

1. D. twenty-four
2. D. No change should be made in this sentence.
