Great job with the answers! Just a few corrections have been made. Remember, a comma should not connect two independent clauses (comma splice), and a fragment is an incomplete sentence. Keep up the good work!
#4 is not correct.
#7 is not R.
#10 is not CS
Recheck #11, #12
#14 not C
I'd check the last 4 as well. Sorry, but sliding up and down is too hard on my eyes.
