Answer 1

#4 is a prepositional phrase. Even though "to" is used for infinitives, "the library" is not a verb.

#6 "source" is a noun

#7 "us" cannot be any kind of nominative; it is in the objective case. So, what kind of object is it?

#10 better review helping verbs. They are used to form more complicated verb tenses, like progressive or perfect.

#12 which word is underlined? You may be right if it was "fourth"

#13 "ain't" is the dead giveaway

I think the others look ok.

Answer 2

#6 C then?
#7 direct object
#10 A
#12 many is the underlined word
#13 A

Answer 3

4 - no
5 - no
12- Which word is underlined?
13 - no (look up colloquial)
14- no One of these is very pedestrian, not epic.

The rest are correct.
