I'll give you some help on the questions you've left blank.

10. Subjects and verbs should always agree so that there is no confusion about who is doing the action.

11. Would you really say "There are a sandwich shop"?

14. I'd disregard all clauses.

15. closest

16. not only . . . but also

17. Civics is singular

Answer 2

so 13 is prepositional phrases

Right!

Look what you'd have if you put parentheses around all of the prepositional phrases.
