Explanation:

• Comma Splice Check: A comma splice occurs when two independent clauses are joined only by a comma. In "I didn't use to have allergies, I do now", both "I didn't use to have allergies" and "I do now" are independent clauses. The correct fix could be "I didn't use to have allergies, but I do now" (using a coordinating conjunction) or "I didn't use to have allergies; I do now" (using a semicolon).
• Sentence Rewrite (Joe's Sentence):
• "cant" → "can't" (contraction with apostrophe).
• "rodentes" → "rodents" (correct plural form).
• "cause" → "because" (to show the reason properly).
• "allergys" → "allergies" (correct plural form of "allergy"). So the rewritten sentence is "Joe can't have pet rodents because of his allergies".
• Apostrophe Addition:
• "Its" → "It's" (contraction for "It is").
• "all" → "all" (no change needed here).
• "students" → "students'" (possessive form for "students' runny noses").
• "teachers" → "teacher's" (possessive form for "teacher's tissue supply"). The corrected sentence is "It's allergy season, and thanks to all the students' runny noses, our teacher's tissue supply is running low!".
• Subordinating Conjunctions:
• For "______ I start having a reaction, I take medicine", "As soon as" is correct as it shows a time - sequence (taking medicine right after starting a reaction).
• For "Mom can't eat shellfish ____________ she's allergic to it", "since" is correct as it shows a causal relationship (can't eat because of allergy).
• Affix Addition (for "possible"):
• For the adverb "in a possible way; maybe", we add the suffix "-ly" to get "possibly".
• For the noun "something possible; an option", we add the suffix "-ility" to get "possibility".
• For the adjective "not able to happen", we add the prefix "im -" to get "impossible".

Answer:

• Comma splice: Check the box next to "I didn't use to have allergies, I do now". Fix: I didn't use to have allergies, but I do now (or other valid fixes like using a semicolon).
• Rewrite (Joe's sentence): Joe can't have pet rodents because of his allergies.
• Apostrophe addition: It's allergy season, and thanks to all the students' runny noses, our teacher's tissue supply is running low!
• Subordinating conjunctions: As soon as; since.
• Affix addition: possibly; possibility; impossible.
