Explanation:

1. Subject Identification and Pronoun Replacement:

• In the sentence "Ken, Lee, and Martha want to write a play about the Revolutionary War", the subject is "Ken, Lee, and Martha". Since it is a plural subject, the subject pronoun is "They". So the new sentence is "They want to write a play about the Revolutionary War".
• In "Martha begins researching the topic", the subject is "Martha". As it is a singular female - related subject (assuming Martha is female), the subject pronoun is "She". The new sentence is "She begins researching the topic".
• For "The play takes many weeks to plan", the subject is "The play". It is a singular non - human subject, and the subject pronoun is "It". The new sentence is "It takes many weeks to plan".
• In "Harry builds the set for the play", the subject is "Harry". It is a singular male - related subject (assuming Harry is male), and the subject pronoun is "He". The new sentence is "He builds the set for the play".
• For "The story focuses on the ride of Paul Revere", the subject is "The story". It is a singular non - human subject, and the subject pronoun is "It". The new sentence is "It focuses on the ride of Paul Revere".

1. Correct Subject Pronoun Selection:

• In "(They, Them) are changing the rehearsal schedule", "are" is a verb. Subject pronouns are used as the doers of the action (before the verb). "They" is a subject pronoun, while "Them" is an object pronoun. So we underline "They".
• In "(We, You) would like to hear your opinion", both "We" and "You" are subject pronouns. But the choice depends on the context. If the speaker is including themselves, "We" could be correct. If addressing the listener directly, "You" is correct. Assuming a general context where the speaker is part of a group, we'll consider the answer based on the rule of subject - pronoun usage.
• In "(You, I) were just voted director of the play", "were" is the verb. "You" and "I" are subject pronouns. The correct form is "You were just voted director of the play" or "I was just voted director of the play" (but since the verb is "were", "You" is more appropriate as "I" would take "was").
• In "Mark and (me, I) will make the costumes", "will make" is the verb. "I" is a subject pronoun, and "me" is an object pronoun. So we underline "I".
• In "However, (he, him) and (I, me) will ask others to help", "will ask" is the verb. "He" and "I" are subject pronouns, while "him" and "me" are object pronouns. So we underline "he" and "I".

Answer:

1. Underlined subject: Ken, Lee, and Martha; New sentence: They want to write a play about the Revolutionary War.
2. Underlined subject: Martha; New sentence: She begins researching the topic.
3. Underlined subject: The play; New sentence: It takes many weeks to plan.
4. Underlined subject: Harry; New sentence: He builds the set for the play.
5. Underlined subject: The story; New sentence: It focuses on the ride of Paul Revere.
6. Underlined: They
7. (Assuming a general context) If we consider the rule of subject - pronoun before the verb, but without more context, we can't be 100% sure. If we assume the speaker is part of a group, we might choose "We", but if it's a direct address, "You". For the sake of following the rule (subject - pronoun before the verb), we'll note that both are subject pronouns. But if we have to pick one (assuming a group including the speaker), underline "We".
8. Underlined: You
9. Underlined: I
10. Underlined: he, I
