Which do you reckon are correct?

[edsonline]

I think the corrected ones would be: 1a, 2a, 3d, 4b, 5c

1a
2a- debatable- some would prefer the use of a possessive adjective (your) before a gerund. I would use 2b.
3d It should be 3c as 'scarcely' implies that there was very little protest, so if you you use 'without' you change the meaning.
4- strange question as most are correct. Some may object to the last comma in a) and there's a spelling mistake in c).
5c
