Explanation:
We need to rewrite the second sentence in each numbered set, replacing repeated nouns with appropriate pronouns. Let’s go one by one:

1. Original:
- Sentence 1: *George is so friendly.*
- Sentence 2: *George is great, and I love George.*
→ Replace the second “George” (subject) with he, and the third “George” (object of “love”) with him.
✔ Rewritten: *He is great, and I love him.*

2. Original:
- Sentence 1: *Jim is a painter.*
- Sentence 2: *Jim’s a great painter, and a lot of people hire Jim.*
→ First “Jim’s” = *He’s* (he is), and “hire Jim” → *hire him*.
✔ Rewritten: *He’s a great painter, and a lot of people hire him.*

3. Original:
- Sentence 1: *Kim loves art.*
- Sentence 2: *Kim draws well, as you can see in Kim’s work.*
→ “Kim draws” → *She draws* (assuming Kim is female; context shows Kim is drawing art, and later “her work” fits). “Kim’s work” → *her work*.
✔ Rewritten: *She draws well, as you can see in her work.*

4. Original:
- Sentence 1: *Mary called.*
- Sentence 2: *Mary left a message, Mary says to call Mary back.*
→ First “Mary left” → *She left*, second “Mary says” → *she says*, third “call Mary back” → *call her back*.
✔ Rewritten: *She left a message, she says to call her back.*

5. Original:
- Sentence 1: *Bill trained for the race.*
- Sentence 2: *Bill ran the race, and victory was Bills.*
→ “Bill ran” → *He ran*, “victory was Bills” → *victory was his* (possessive pronoun for Bill). Note: “Bills” is incorrect — should be *Bill’s*, but we replace with *his*.
✔ Rewritten: *He ran the race, and victory was his.*

6. Original:
- Sentence 1: *Carl is here.*
- Sentence 2: *The cookies belong to Carl.*
→ “belong to Carl” → *belong to him*.
✔ Rewritten: *The cookies belong to him.*

7. Original:
- Sentence 1: *My mother is tough but fair.*
- Sentence 2: *My mother enforces rules.*
→ “My mother enforces” → *She enforces*.
✔ Rewritten: *She enforces rules.*

8. Original:
- Sentence 1: *Don quit yesterday.*
- Sentence 2: *Don didn’t say why.*
→ “Don didn’t say” → *He didn’t say*.
✔ Rewritten: *He didn’t say why.*

9. Original:
- Sentence 1: *Tom and I went out.*
- Sentence 2: *Tom and I had fun on Tom and I’s date.*
→ This is tricky. “Tom and I” as subject → pronoun is *We*.
“on Tom and I’s date” → possessive form should be *our date* (since “Tom and I” = we).
Note: “Tom and I’s” is informal/common but grammatically debatable; correct possessive is *our*.
✔ Rewritten: *We had fun on our date.*

Now let’s list all rewritten second sentences clearly:

1. He is great, and I love him.
2. He’s a great painter, and a lot of people hire him.
3. She draws well, as you can see in her work.
4. She left a message, she says to call her back.
5. He ran the race, and victory was his.
6. The cookies belong to him.
7. She enforces rules.
8. He didn’t say why.
9. We had fun on our date.

All use correct subject/object/possessive pronouns based on the antecedent noun(s).

Final Answer:
1. He is great, and I love him.
2. He’s a great painter, and a lot of people hire him.
3. She draws well, as you can see in her work.
4. She left a message, she says to call her back.
5. He ran the race, and victory was his.
6. The cookies belong to him.
7. She enforces rules.
8. He didn’t say why.
9. We had fun on our date.
