2-I would like to speak about [STRIKE]much[/STRIKE] the many problems which I have faced [STRIKE]them[/STRIKE] since I [STRIKE]come[/STRIKE] came to this town.
3-I come from Egypt. It is a mostly [STRIKE]a[/STRIKE] Muslim country.

7-There is a small partition which separates the bed from the rest of the room.

10-My brother has two sons, [STRIKE]who their[/STRIKE] whose names are Jack and Antony.

I have made amendments above.

Remember = you need an "s" on the end of plural nouns.
The plural of person is (usually) people.
"Who/whom/whose" refer to people.
"Which" refers to things.
