I'll fix the first one. Then you try the other two, OK?
<i>The professor's tests were long, difficult, and anxiety-ridden. </i>
The original had two adjectives and one predicate in the series. <b>All the items in a series need to be the same part of speech or grammatical construction.</b>

Now you try the other two, and I'll check them for you.
