I think the first one is c, and the last one is c also. can you please help me? :)

Answer 1

I don't think the first one is c. I assume the binder is red, so in c, both the binder and the color are separated. Option a is the most fluent.

I think c is correct.

Answer 2

I agree with Anonymous's answers.

Answer 3

I think the answer to the first question is A, because it makes the most sense.

The second answer is C.
