    1. He .... the letter you had lost when he cleaned out of his desk.
    A. came on, B. came out, C. come up, D.came about, E.come across)
    ..my answer is A...
    You're looking for a verb meaning 'to find'- http://www.usingenglish.com/referenc...l-verbs/c.html

    2. It is thought that oil come from tiny plant and animals .... bodies fell in
    their millions to the seabed when they died .
    A. in which B.whose C.whom D. that E,who
    ...my answer is A..
    The bodies belonged to the animals- this needs to show possession
    3. I will go home for vacation as soon as I.... my exam.
    A. have been finishing B. am finishing C. will finish D.finished E.finish
    ...my answer is C..
    We don't use 'will' after conjunctions of time, even though the sense is future- use the present.
    4. I wish that you... such a bad headache because I'm sure that you would
    have enjoyed the concert.
    A. hadn't B.hadn't had C. didn't have D. don't have E. didn;t have had
    ...my answer is B...
    B is the second conditional and this is the third, so use the past perfect.

    1. He .... the letter you had lost when he cleaned out of his desk.
    A. came on, B. came out, C. come up, D.came about, E.come across)
    ..my answer is A...

    That answer is the best option there, but more suitable responses would be "came upon" or "came across".

    2. It is thought that oil come from tiny plant and animals .... bodies fell in
    their millions to the seabed when they died .
    A. in which B.whose C.whom D. that E,who
    ...my answer is A..

    The best response would have been "whose".

    3. I will go home for vacation as soon as I.... my exam.
    A. have been finishing B. am finishing C. will finish D.finished E.finish
    ...my answer is C..

    The correct answer would be "finsish".

    4. I wish that you... such a bad headache because I'm sure that you would
    have enjoyed the concert.
    A. hadn't B.hadn't had C. didn't have D. don't have E. didn;t have had
    ...my answer is B...

    The best response would be "hadn't had". Most English speakers would also accept "didn't have" but that implies that the person with the headache was at the concert.

    I apologise, my response to question 3 should have been "finish". I mis-typed it.

    Welcome, Robbie.

    Please note, we try not to do assignments for students. Guidance is OK, though.

    All the best.
