If you know none of these answers, you deserve to fail.
By Spanish III you should have a handle on the tenses and conjugations of these verbs, or at least know how to find them. Just look them up. Someone here would be happy to confirm your answers.
The verbs you have listed are all car, gar, zar verbs. They change in the yo form to remain true to their sound, so here are the endings.

car - que
gar - gue
zar - ce

now apply this rule to your questions up above to answer the questions, oh and don't forget the accent mark on the e.

for the next part i would recommend googling a spanish dictionary because a lot of those are stem changers, but here's something to get you started.

notice these verbs:

construir
incluir
contribuir
huir

these all end in similar endings so they will follow a similar conjugation pattern (Hint: the pattern has to do with them stem changing in the third person and third person plural forms, the i should change to a y so construir is construyo, accent on the o)

notice these verbs:

creer
leer

these also have a similar ending so they also will have similar conjugations (Hint: same thing with the previous verbs stem changers in the third person and third person plural, leer will be leyo with an accent over the o)

Conjugations aren't difficult as long as remember these patterns, so be on the look out for them as you find the full conjugations of them online.

oh and here's the forms of the verbs you should use for each number.

1. el/ella/usted
2. yo
3. vosotras (same as vosotros form)
4. tu
5. ustedes
6. yo
7. el/ella/usted
8. nosotras (same form as nosotros)
9. yo
10. ellas/ellos/ustedes
11. yo
12. nosotros
13. nosotros
14. tu
15. ustedes
1. comenzar ---> 1. start
2. practicar ---> 2. practice
3. jugar ---> 3. play
4. almorzar ---> 4. lunch
5. tocar ---> 5. touch
6. buscar ---> 6. search
7. llegar ---> 7. get
8. pagar ---> 8. pay
9. cruzar ---> 9. cross
10. empezar ---> 10. Start
