Welcome to this forum.

Please provide your own answers of which you are not sure. Teachers on this forum are not going to do your homework. They can however answer questions.

Thank you dears,

All those 4 posts I've just sent you were actually of a test I'd taken in June 25, 2012.
I truly got 37 out of 60. My teacher did not provide me the answer key to see what the correct answers are and she just quoted my score. That's all.

Now I do not really know what my errors/mistakes are.
 
Then select two or three at a time, and post them in separate threads, with the answers you think are correct. I have closed this thread, because as ems wrote in another thread, most of us haven't got time to deal with so many questions at once. There is also the point that responses to more than a couple of different questions in one thread can become very confusing.
