You need to check your text or instructional materials for specifics:
5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 14, 17, 19

Other teachers may have more input.

The only answers with which I agree are: 5, 7, 8, 15. I don't know about 3, 11, 17.

The others are wrong, in my opinion. However, some of these questions are rather vague and you may be able to make a good argument that you are correct.
