Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. Cross - out sentences: "It costs $4 to get in." is not related to the exhibit's impact or content. "The labels were hard to read." is a minor detail that doesn't contribute to the main purpose. "There was a photo of the photographer as well. I wonder how she became a photographer in Africa." is off - topic. "Her office is pretty far from the cafeteria." is irrelevant to the exhibit.
  2. Add apostrophes: "The Chicago Art Museum's" is already correct. "Museum's" in "The Chicago Art Museum's 'Faces of Famine' exhibit" is correct. "writers" should be "writer's" in the instruction. "schools" in "our schools service project" should be "school's". "principals" in "the principals office" should be "principal's".

Answer:

  1. Crossed - out sentences:
    • It costs $4 to get in.
    • The labels were hard to read.
    • There was a photo of the photographer as well. I wonder how she became a photographer in Africa.
    • Her office is pretty far from the cafeteria.
  2. Corrected possessive nouns:
    • writer's (in the instruction)
    • school's (in "our schools service project")
    • principal's (in "the principals office")
