you're focusing on parallel structure in these questions, correct?

Answer 11

yes but i believe its A

Answer 12

yeah, that's what I would have put. All you need to check is that the items that they are listing are in the same tense in parallel structure. so if the first verb is "walked", the next ones must be the past tense of the verb (with -ed at the end).

so it actually would be D.she forgets

Answer 14

now that you mention it, that does sound like the correct answer because of the "she" they put in front of forgets. nice job. :)
