I think its D

Answer 3

same

Answer 4

i think d as well because you can take it out of the sentence, and the sentence will still be complete :)

Answer 6

It is D because the sentence is present tense and a present participle always ends with -ing. As in watching. Also a participial phrase is always used as an adjective phrase to modify a noun or pronoun.
