Answer 1

The sentence should be corrected as follows: "The Olimpic athlete raced down the slopes because he hoped to win the gold medal."

The correct options are:

* by changing "though" to "because" since it is proving an explanation to the 1st part of the sentence.

* by changing "hopes" to "hoped" since the 1st part of the sentence is in the past tense.

The incorrect options are:

* by removing "down the slopes" since it adds details about the meaning of the sentence.

* by replacing "he" with "the athlete" since the latter is already mentioned in the sentence and can be replaced by personal pronoun "he".

* by replacing "the gold medal" with "it" since the latter is not mentioned before in the sentence. Therefore, it cannot be replaced by the personal pronoun "it".
