I'll evaluate each response and explain briefly.

1. "The committee sets and enforces rules to keep the competition fair for everyone." — True.
The IOC creates and enforces overarching rules and policies (including anti‑doping, eligibility and disciplinary measures) and works with International Federations so competitions are fair and consistent.

2. (Duplicate) — True. Same as above.

3. "The committee sets the standards for all of the sports involved." — Mostly true.
The IOC approves the Olympic programme and overall standards, but technical rules for each sport are written and maintained by the respective International Federations under IOC oversight.

4. "The committee works to schedule and carry out the events around the world." — Not exactly.
The IOC selects host cities and sets the overall Games timetable and requirements, but the actual scheduling and running of events is done by the local Organizing Committee (OCOG) together with the sport federations.

5. "The committee works to ensure that everything is equitable across all countries." — Generally true (with nuance).
The IOC promotes universality and equal opportunity (e.g., quota places, Olympic Solidarity funding, anti‑discrimination policies), though implementation often requires cooperation with national committees and federations.
