Welcome to the forum. :hi:

You appear to have used the copy/cut and paste function in this post and, as a result, you have lost several spaces between words. I have marked them in red above. Please click on "Edit Post" on post #1 and add the missing spaces.
Where did you find these questions? When are you due to submit your answers to your teacher?

I found those sentences through Korean naver searching. There are a lot of arguments about right and wrong among Korean English teachers online.

My questions here, you can jude the serious questions of all Korean students and teachers. And maybe the serious questions of the whole world.

If you answer correctly, I am sure your followers will increase dramatically, rapidly.
