The sentence that would require do-support (i.e., do-insertion) when converted into a yes/no question is:
**She speaks Italian.**
When transforming "She speaks Italian" into a yes/no question, it becomes "Does she speak Italian?" which requires the auxiliary "do" for the question form.
The other sentences already have auxiliary verbs or modal verbs (is, can, has) that do not require do-support for question formation.
