Jennie, welcome to A2K.

If I may suggest, don't post so many examples at one time. Just remember this, dear. There are two basic parts to any sentence: A subject and a predicate. All the rest are modifiers with the exception of complements. (words, phrases, or dependent clauses that complete the verb.)

Choose two of the examples that you cited, and try it for yourself.

I think most all of us are averse to just plain doing someone's homework for them. Advice, sure. Critique, sure.

Maybe you can say what you think the right answers are, and why, and we can go from there.

Hey Jen,
I chose different answers for 5, 6, 11, 13, 18, and 29.

Actually, I think any of the answers would fit in 29. Look carefully at the others.
