Default still and yet

Dear teachers,

I have three questions to ask:
No.1 Please read the following

One caregiver said that she has always been close to her mother. Another was the oldest child. __________ another was the youngest child.

a. But b. Even c. Still d. Yet

The key is 'c'. Could you please explain the difference between 'c' and 'd'?

No.2
Other materials are used in theworkshop also, ________ which some details will be given.
a. about b. of
The key is 'a'. But I can't find the collocation of 'details about'. I can only find the 'details of'. Could you please explain if it is a wrong key or both are correct?

No.3
They are people _______ whom we measure others.
a. against b. with
The key is 'a' but I think 'b' is also correct. Is that so?


Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thank you in advance.

Jiang
