You appear to be having quite a few problems with these exercises. dj-dipuu. It hardly seems fair to give them to your students if you make mistakes yourself.

This isn't correction- it's wrong, and actually hard to see the intended meaning- were their raincoats all the same or were the rest of what they were wearing the same as their raincoats?

I slipped INTO my black dress,coatless under the rain

There's no context that suggests why I would be getting dressed outside in the rain, so expecting someone to supply the preposition into here does not strike me as fair.
