3 - correct
4 permissive
5 imprisoned
6 dependable
7,8 - correct
9 applying
10 correct

Hi Casiopea

I`d choose troublesome for the second sentence. In my opinion there should be "imprisoned" instead of "imprison". I am not sure if my answer for the ninth sentence is correct. Should I use applying or application? I think that applying is correct. Am I wrong?

Thank you very much in advance.

[nunudada]

Thanks a lot for your help and advice.
