Answer 1

C right

Answer 2

I am thinking it is B, but I do not know for sure.

Answer 3

what about C

Answer 4

there are s's at the end of bat and bear... so that is referring to several. However, it only says both. Both refers to 2, not several. But I could be wrong.

Answer 5

C I think is right.

Im going with C

Answer 7

Yeah in the other sentences the nouns and verbs just don't agree with each other.
