• a HC in the key of the dominant (BM)

• a PAC in the key of the relative major (GM)

• an IAC in the key of the subdominant (Am)

Answer explanation

Measure 10 ends with a G Major chord. That would be a III in our original key of E minor. Since III is not a viable cadence chord we look at the chord preceding the GM chord and note that it is a D Major with an added seventh. Since GM is the relative major of E minor (1 sharp) the phrase has shifted to G ending with a PAC.
