1.You're right.
2. Her sister is a nurse and she intends to be one too - correct
a. This is the profession she intends - this is wrong because the verb "to intend" is always followed by an infinitive..You must intend to do something or be someone.
c. Sne intending to be a nurse too. There is no "is" here before intending. "a nurse" can be replaced with the pr

Shouldn't it be
"His feet are bigger than many boys' in town"? or
"His feet are bigger than any other boy's in town"?
Without the apostrophe, it seems that his feet are bigger than the other boys themselves.

Interesting point. Yes - it should be "many boys' feet" or "those of many boys". However, this way of writing and speaking in the answer in question is common even if slightly wrong. It's implied that we are comparing "he" with "many boys" even though the subject is "his feet". I've never seen your option "boys" without "feet" after it. I still see the one I chose as the best option, at least
